It required research to figure this out? Seems kinda obvious...

    Fire needs fuel. Glad we figured that out!

    But actually, this is about developing a model of wildfire burn.
    So, using satellite information gathered before previous large fires, the study reckons they have a 60% accurate model for how a wildfire will burn. (From a quick skim of the article)
