Answer
A LANDFIRE Landscape GeoTIFF (landscape) file is a multi-banded raster. The data type for all bands is 16-bit signed integer. Bands are interleaved by pixel. Five bands are required: elevation, slope, aspect, fuel model, and tree canopy cover. You can download either Fire Behavior Fuel Models 13 (Anderson, 1982) or 40 (Scott and Burgan, 2005) as a landscape file using the map viewer with the “Data Download Tool”.
