Field notes
A burn unit can include a location, fuel type, acreage, weather ranges, and a minimum duration; wind direction filtering is optional. The analysis checks each forecast hour against all configured ranges at once, then looks for qualifying runs of consecutive hours. Data can be backed up or transferred as JSON, while cross-device sync requires connecting to a server and saving a token.
