Firefighters have been using sandbox environments to rapidly and physically model topography and fire for wildfire incident command strategic planning . The SimTable is a 3D interactive fire simulator , bringing sandtable exercises to life . The SimTable uses advanced computer simulations to model fires in any area , including local neighborhoods , utilizing actual slope , terrain , wind speed/direction , vegetation , and other factors . SimTable Models were used in Arizona 's largest fire on record , the Wallow Fire
