arXiv:2610.30170v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Canada's increasing wildfire activity requires frequent national hazard mapping to guide proactive mitigation, including fuel management, land-use planning, infrastructure protection, and evacuation routing. However, process-based wildfire simulation frameworks (e.g., BurnP3 and BurnP3+) rely on computationally intensive Monte Carlo simulations to model burn probability, fire intensity, and rate of spread. These workflows can take days to weeks to process a single regional modelling unit. To overcome these computational bottlenecks, we present three contributions developed through collaboration between AI researchers and wildfire modelling expe
