The Landscape (LCP) file, a multi-band raster format, is commonly used by wildland fire behavior and fire effects models such as FARSITE and FlamMap. The bands of an LCP file store eight layers of LANDFIRE (LF) data that describe terrain, tree canopy, and surface fuel.
LF also offers the LCP product in GeoTiff form (LCG).
