Forest Fire Simulator in Google Maps

ForeFire is a forest fire simulator.

The idea is that you start a forest fire somewhere on the island of Corsica, and decide on the wind strength and direction. Watch how the fire spreads... and begin to think of appropriate management plans to contain it and to warn people who are threatened...
Would be useful for those doing a unit on Natural Hazards or hazard management...
Forest fires used to be included in the old 'A' level spec that I used to teach (in the days when they were called syllabuses...)

Thanks to Google Maps for (yet another) tip-off....
