Comments from Judges

 * The Final Report turned into less of a water model, and more of a fire model
 * Some judges thought this is on of the better fire models we have see over the years, and we have seen a lot of fire models.
 * However, the fire model does not generate appropriate fire behavior under high winds.
 * The team understands why the model behaves the way it does.
 * But, they do not explain how the model needs to be changed so it will generate the correct behavior.
 * I like the field work to collect data used
 * to set parameters in the model, and
 * to validate the results from the model.
 * I like the use of both synthetic and GIS data to test the model.
