Crown fire potential was modeled using FlamMap, an interagency fire behavior mapping and analysis program that computes potential fire behavior characteristics. The tool uses eight spatial input data layers to represent biophysical conditions and weather parameters to simulate wind and fuel moisture conditions. The spatial input layers were created by Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools Project (LANDFIRE) and include elevation, slope, aspect, canopy closure, fuel model 40, canopy base height, and canopy bulk density. The weather parameters were collected from the RAWS weather stations in New Mexico. Crown fire potential was modeled by individual fire zones, created by the Southwest Coordination Center (SWCC) then combined using the mosaic to new raster function in ArcGIS. The weather data for the northern and western fire zones (101, 102, 103, 109, 110, and 113) represents the average early summer (May and June ) conditions; the weather data for the eastern fire zones (104, 108, 114, 115) represents the average early spring (March and April ) conditions; and the weather data for the southern and central fire zones (105, 106, 107, 111, 112) represents the average spring (April and May) conditions. The Flam Map model result classifies crown fire potential into three categories: surface fire, passive crown fire, and active crown fire. The technical team recommended that the result be grouped into two categories: 1. areas with no crown fire potential and 2. areas with crown fire potential.
Crown fire is the movement of fire into and through the tree canopy. Crown fires typically move rapidly, and are very intense. Passive crown fire does not carry continuously through the canopy, but burns crown fuels intermittently (e.g. when individual trees or groups of trees burn). Active crown fire carries continuously through the canopy. Crown fires are the most difficult and dangerous types of fire to fight.

The Flam Map model result classifies crown fire potential into three categories: surface fire, passive crown fire, and active crown fire. Active and passive crown fire were reclassified to 5 and surface and no data were reclassed to 0. The reclassed and original grids were then combined
