  We use a coupled atmosphere-fire model to simulate a fire that occurred on
August 14--17, 2009, in the Harmanli region, Bulgaria. Data was obtained from
GIS and satellites imagery, and from standard atmospheric data sources. Fuel
data was classified in the 13 Anderson categories. For correct fire behavior,
the spatial resolution of the models needed to be fine enough to resolve the
essential micrometeorological effects. The simulation results are compared to
available incident data. The code runs faster than real time on a cluster. The
model is available from openwfm.org and it extends WRF-Fire from WRF 3.3
release.
