  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The manner in which a wildfire or prescribed burn reacts to the combined effects of fuel, topography, and weather.

Fire behavior analysts use models and observations to forecast changes, considering variables like wind speed, relative humidity, fuel moisture content, and slope to predict how a fire will move and grow.",
