  We present a forest fire firefighting simulation tool named FORFIS that is
implemented in Python. Unlike other existing software, we focus on a
user-friendly software interface with an easy-to-modify software engine. Our
tool is published under GNU GPLv3 license and comes with a GUI as well as
additional output functionality. The used wildfire model is based on the
well-established approach by cellular automata in two variants - a rectangular
and a hexagonal cell decomposition of the wildfire area. The model takes wind
into account. In addition, our tool allows the user to easily include a
customized firefighting strategy for the firefighting agents.
