R build of Rothermel's (1972) model for surface head fire rate of spread with some additional utilities (best standard fuel model selection, uncertainty propagation, optimization of fuel models by genetic algorithms) and sample datasets.

Arguments to functions ros ( ), rosunc ( ), and bestFM ( ) should be provided by the user from standard or custom fire behavior fuel models, standard or custom moisture scenarios and desired wind speed and slope. rosunc ( ) only works with individual observations, ros ( ) and bestFM ( ) work with individual or multiple observations.
