Login Fuel hazard denotes the level of wildfire risk attributed to the presence of specific forest and non-forest fuel types. This hazard is linked to the potential intensity of a fire and its rate of spread upon ignition. Ratings for fuel hazard are categorized as: nil, low, medium, and high.

Partners and Customers
SkyForest integrates multiple layers to produce the most advanced risk exposure layer in Canada.
SkyForest’s proprietary data produces an exposure layer that calculates risk for every 10 meter pixel across Canada.
Canopy Height Model
Our Canopy Height Model estimates the height of both forest canopies and non-forest land cover types.
Distance to Hazardous Fuel
Distance to hazardous fuel is the straight-line distance in meters to locations with medium or high fuel hazard.
Exposure
Exposure measures how likely an asset at a specific location can be impacted by wildfire hazards such as flames, radiant heat, and embers. It is influenced by the fuel hazard near the location and considers the nearby slopes and their respective azimuths.
Fuel Hazard
Fuel hazard indicates the wildfire risk based on the types of fuels, such as different vegetation, present in an area. It affects how intense a fire might be and how quickly it could spread. Fuel hazard is rated as nil, low, medium, or high.
Fuel Type
Fuel types classify different land covers, like forests and grasslands, based on the types of wildfire fuels they contain. This classification depends on factors such as vegetation type, composition (e.g., percentage of conifer trees), and structure (e.g., forest height). SkyForest follows the classification system from the Wildland-Urban Interface guide.
Percent Softwood Basal Area
The PCBA (Percent Conifer Basal Area) shows the proportion of coniferous trees in a forest canopy. It is calculated based on the species and size of the trees, measured by the area of the trunk’s cross-section.
The SKYFOREST Difference
Our 10-meter resolution data provides precise information on wildfire threats across Canada. It ensures consistent and reliable results, whether you’re examining data in British Columbia, New Brunswick, or Quebec.
Fuel Hazard
Exposure
Exposure quantifies the potential for an asset at a point of interest (POI) to be affected by wildfire hazards such as flames, radiant heat, and embers. It is determined by the nearby fuel hazard and considers the surrounding slopes and azimuth.
