forest fire
Let an agent handle forest fires safety-first: route people in danger to emergency services and official evacuation information, then give sourced information on fire danger, prevention and recovery.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle forest fires safety-first: route people in danger to emergency services and official evacuation information, then give sourced information on fire danger, prevention and recovery.
A wildfire burning in forest, spreading through trees, undergrowth and litter, whether started by lightning or by human activity, and posing risks to people, property, ecosystems and air quality.
What it is for: A natural hazard and ecological process.
It can be find official fire warnings and evacuation orders; check fire danger ratings and bans; report a fire; protect health from smoke.
