(2015) and Cruz et al. (2018). The BFC is a hierarchical, structure-based classification system for fuel complexes, enabling distinct fuel extents and characterisations to be mapped directly onto fire behaviour models. The map has been generated using nationally consistent, open-source datasets, predominantly derived from remotely sensed data, to quantitatively characterise vegetation life forms, height and foliage cover. The automated production of this map allows for rapid versioning as data inputs are enhanced. This version of the BFC fuel types map integrates multiple spatial and temporal resolution datasets, ranging from 10 to 500 metres. For a detailed methodology, refer to Joshi et al. (2025).
