Abstract
Fires and other related disasters provoke great destruction of high valuable environments and economical losses, especially when they are located in urban areas. In this work, we present a combined urban and forest fire spreading algorithm to be used in real time and interactive virtual simulations. The algorithm is pedagogical oriented and its purpose is not focused in achieving precise results that could be used to predict the fire evolution. The main objective is to obtain a fast, interactive and quasi-realistic virtual simulation to be used in the simulation of virtual scenarios where firefighters and controllers will be trained. The algorithm supports the main variables involved in the fire spreading (slope and wind) and the radiation effect. An additional method has been added to extinguish the fire.
