This is a service that provides the Landscape (.LCP) file, a multi-band raster format commonly used by wildland fire behavior and fire effects models such as FARSITE and FlamMap. The bands of an .LCP file store data describing terrain, tree canopy, and surface fuel. This .LCP file utilizes LANDFIRE (LF) data, such as the optional crown fuel bands (canopy height, canopy base height, canopy bulk density), but currently does not include the optional surface fuel bands.

.LCP files are listed as products in the Data Distribution Site (DDS) Download Data panel.

Access .LCPs by selecting an area of interest from the LF DDS then follow the below steps:

• Select the Download Tool
• Click the product version toggle in the download panel to get a list of products
• Click the Fuel toggle to locate the LCP files
• Select the checkbox for the LCP to download:
  • .LCP 13 Fire Behavior Fuel Models-Anderson
  • .LCP 40 Fire Behavior Fuel Models-Scott/Burgan
• Select an area of interest by drawing a box, by template, or by X/Y coordinates
