There are currently two fire test cases - hill_simple and two_fires. The files necessary for running these are in the top-level em_fire/ directory. To run a fire case, it will be necessary to have files named 'namelist.input' and 'input_sounding' in the em_fire/ directory. If you wish to use one of the provided test cases, you will need to link them to their generic names (for example, for the two_fires case): ln -sf namelist.input_two_fires namelist.input ln -sf input_sounding_two_fires input_sounding Currently the default namelist.input is linked to the hill_simple case. If you want to make your own test case, you will simply need to create the files namelist.input and input_sounding that will correspond to your case. (best by modifying a copy from another case)
