The document describes the development of a model to predict wildfire risk in California. It uses climatological data like temperature, precipitation, and humidity, as well as land cover data, as inputs to the model. Two models are created, one with equal weighting of all factors and one that weights land cover higher. The results of the second model better match actual 2014 wildfires in northern California but miss fires in southern California, suggesting room for improvement in the model formula. Overall, the model effectively predicts wildfires in western California but inaccuracies remain.
