Vandal Fire Intelligence - Columbia River Basin

Vandal Fire Intelligence (VFI) : Introduction and Milestones (2025) VFI is a high‐performance, Dask powered platform developed to deliver dynamic, scalable flammability predictions to serve hyperlocal needs and global flammability analyses (Logan, Smith 2024). VFI informs fire managers, climate researchers, and NASA/NSF-aligned programs about evolving flammability risk patterns under changing environmental conditions. This builds on other documented efforts to explore single climate variables associated with wildfire activity in the Columbia River Basin Area of the United States from 1979-2025 (Logan 2024), such as Wind Speed Trends (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15485100) 1000 Hour Fuel Moisture Trends (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15446652) Vapor Pressure Deficit Trends (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15391290).
