APPENDIX C. Land Use Classification for Fire Encroachment
Land Use Classification | Description | |
Urban Classes based on WUI Density and Fire Behavior of the Surrounding Fuels Load Type (Originally NB91 Urban) | ||
UIL  | 911 | Urban isolated surrounded by low load fuels |
USL  | 912 | Urban scattered surrounded by low load fuels |
UCL  | 913 | Urban core surrounded by low load fuels |
UIH  | 914 | Urban isolated surrounded by high load fuels |
USH  | 915 | Urban scattered surrounded by high load fuels |
UCH  | 916 | Urban core surrounded by high load fuels |
UNB  | 919 | Non-burnable urban areas |
 | ||
Four Agricultural Classes Based on Seasonal Changes and Fuel Load (Originally NB93, Agricultural Non-Burnable) | ||
ASL  | 931 | Agricultural low load fuels with seasonal changes for its burnable condition |
ASH  | 932 | Agricultural high load fuels, with seasonal changes for its burnable condition |
AGC | 938 | Golf courses - non-burnable (no encroachment) |
ANB | 939 | Agricultural fields, maintained in a non-burnable condition |
 | ||
Road Classes Based on Road Category and Surrounding Fuels | ||
RNL  | 941 | Minor Roads surrounded by low load fuels |
RNH  | 942 | Minor Roads surrounded by high load fuels |
RML  | 943 | Major Roads surrounded by low load fuels |
RMH  | 944 | Major Roads surrounded by high load fuels |
RNB  | 949 | Roads surrounded by non-burnable fuels |
 | ||
Water Classes Based on Water Body Type and Surrounding Fuels (Originally NB98, Water) | ||
WSL  | 981 | Minor water streams surrounded by low load fuel (moderate encroachment) |
WSH  | 982 | Minor water streams surrounded by high load fuel (high encroachment) |
WSL  | 983 | Major water streams surrounded by low load fuel (moderate encroachment) |
