Backburn

About Backburn

Backburn is a rigorous wildfire strategy simulation built around the forces
that actually shape a fire: fuel, terrain, wind, moisture, and time.

Take command across 30 handcrafted scenarios. Study topography and fuel beds,
forecast changing conditions, deploy limited crews, and decide where a line can
hold. Every order spends time. Every shift in wind can redraw the problem.

SIMULATION WITH SUBSTANCE

- Surface spread modeled from established Rothermel fire-behavior equations
- 18 fuel classes, including the 13 Anderson wildland fuel models
- Slope, aspect, wind, moisture, spotting, and suppression interact on the map
- Fire intensity and rate of spread respond to local conditions
- Pause and time controls let you study the incident or manage it under pressure

COMMAND THE RESPONSE

- Deploy hand crews and engines where they can make a difference
- Construct direct and indirect containment lines
- Plan firing operations with attention to wind and escape routes
- Protect scenario objectives while managing finite resources
- Review the map and outcome to improve the next plan

30 DISTINCT INCIDENTS

Scenarios range from grass and brush runs to timber, peat, canyon, interface,
and multi-front incidents. Each one changes the terrain, weather, resources,
objectives, and tactical problem instead of simply increasing a number.

BUILT TO OWN

Backburn is a complete offline game. There are no advertisements, accounts,
subscriptions, in-app purchases, paid timers, trackers, or network requirement.
Buy it once and every scenario and system is included.

Backburn is an educational strategy game, not an operational fire-prediction
or emergency-response tool. Always follow official authorities during a real
wildfire.
