Model Introduction

FireCubeNet addresses next-day danger prediction for large wildfires by combining meteorological, vegetation, soil-moisture, human-activity, terrain, and land-cover conditions to identify areas at risk of severe fire. It is primarily intended to generate wildfire-danger probabilities, identify important drivers of fire ignition and spread, and support wildfire warning, risk assessment, and emergency-resource planning.

Model Description

FireCubeNet was proposed by research teams from the National Observatory of Athens, Universitat de València, Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, and Universidade Nova de Lisboa. The paper trained and validated the models with ERA5-Land, MODIS, European Drought Observatory, WorldPop, Copernicus EU-DEM, CORINE Land Cover, EFFIS, and MODIS active-fire data. The model supports next-day wildfire-danger prediction, spatiotemporal fire-driver modeling, and large-wildfire risk assessment.

Environment Dependencies

Hardware Requirements

• A GPU or DCU is recommended.
• A CPU can be used for connectivity validation with the default small-sample configuration.
• DCU users must install DTK first. DTK 25.04.2 or later, or the OneScience-recommended version matching the cluster, is recommended.

DCU Environment

# Activate DTK and Conda first
conda create -n onescience311 python=3.11 -y
conda activate onescience311
pip install onescience[earth-dcu] -i http://mirrors.onescience.ai:3141/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host mirrors.onescience.ai

GPU Environment

# Activate Conda first
conda create -n onescience311 python=3.11 -y libstdcxx-ng=12 libgcc-ng=12 gcc_linux-64=12 gxx_linux-64=12
conda activate onescience311
pip install onescience[earth-gpu] -i http://mirrors.onescience.ai:3141/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host mirrors.onescience.ai

Training Data

The default synthetic dataset has few samples but preserves the real 10×25×25×25 input dimensions. It includes persistent weather, progressive drying, spatial hotspots, and physically correlated variables; static fields repeat through time, and the ten land-cover fractions sum to exactly one at every pixel. Synthetic labels validate engineering connectivity only and do not represent the official data distribution or paper performance.

Training

For single-device training, use:

python scripts/train.py

For multi-GPU training, use:

torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 --nnodes=1 --rdzv_id=1000 --rdzv_backend=c10d --max_restarts=0 --master_addr="localhost" --master_port=29500 scripts/train.py

Training results include model parameters for inference and loss metrics for each training epoch. The results are saved to:

result/checkpoints/firecubenet.pt
result/training/metrics.json

Trained Weights

No trained weights are bundled under weight/. The paper provides no confirmed official checkpoint, and the engineering checkpoint is not claimed to be compatible with external weights.

Inference

python scripts/inference.py

Inference results contain next-day wildfire-danger probabilities, reference labels, and the corresponding temporal and spatial location information, and are saved to result/output/predictions.npz.

Evaluation and Visualization

python scripts/result.py

Evaluation reports Precision, Recall, F1, AUROC, and the confusion matrix in result/evaluation/metrics.json. It also generates the wildfire-danger probability and ROC comparison figure result/evaluation/wildfire_danger.png. Synthetic-data results are only for engineering-workflow validation and do not represent paper performance on the real test set.
