The PROMETHEUS model is a spatially explicit, deterministic fire growth model, praised for being beneficial in various aspects of fire management. Our goal is to build on this success, applying statistical smoothing to alleviate some computational difficulties and to increase accuracy; a pleasant by‐product is the opportunity to introduce stochasticity to the model using a residual‐based block bootstrap.
