Built to play

A wildfire strategy simulation with changing conditions, finite crews, containment lines, firing operations, and thirty authored incidents.

Included

  • 30 incidents and 18 fuel classes
  • Rothermel-based surface spread with wind, slope, moisture, and intensity
  • Crews, engines, direct and indirect lines, objectives, and outcome review

Start here

Open the first scenario, read the briefing, place a crew or line from the command bar, then start time and use pause or speed controls to study the changing fire.

Scope

Backburn is an educational strategy game, not an operational fire-prediction or emergency-response tool. Follow official authorities during a real wildfire.
