Another fire project idea: show, based on some kind of prediction model that gives 50th, 90th, 99th percentiles (from historical data, perhaps, or perhaps just from wind/fire speed…

This reminds me of a life philosophy. If you dislike a situation you're in and you try and fix it by switching to a new situation, you'll generally bring with you some of the probl…
