  "definition": "The First Street Foundation-Wildfire Model (FSF-WFM) is a 30 meter resolution model representing the wildfire exposure for any specific location in the contiguous US, today and with the future climate change. The risk of wildfire is derived from a series of inputs associated with fire fuels, weather, human influence, and fire movement. Bringing all of these inputs together, at a national scale, in a high-resolution, climate-adjusted model represents a first-of-its-kind property-level wildfire risk model. In the development of the model, U.S. Federal Government open data are used for the foundational topography, fuels, weather, climate, and historical disturbances information, and additional data were added from a variety of state and local wildfire and land management sources to facilitate a both high resolution and future-facing (estimates both for today and for 30 years ahead) product.
