FAQ
LCP to CIT Conversion
What are LCP files?
LCP (FARSITE Landscape File) is a multi-layer map file used by programs that simulate how wildland fires spread, such as FARSITE and FlamMap, which were developed for the U.S. Forest Service and other land agencies. To model a fire, the software needs to know what the land is like, and an LCP file puts that information together in one grid: the height of the ground, the steepness and direction of the slopes, the type of vegetation fuel, and how thickly trees cover the ground. Additional layers can describe the tree canopy and the litter on the ground. The format is widely used in fire management planning, and the national LANDFIRE program distributed its landscape data in this form for many years.
What are CIT files?
A CIT file represents a black-and-white raster image created using an Intergraph Security, Government and Infrastructure (SG&I) piece of software. Until a few years ago, Intergraph was considered one of largest software developers in the world, and is part of Hexagon AB since 2010. The company provides IT services all over the world to governments and businesses, and apart from the SG&I division it also includes one called Process, Power & Marine (PP&M) and another called Hexagon Geospatial.
