Description
-----------

``firecastnet`` is a raster wildfire spread baseline that uses a shallow encoder-decoder architecture.

The PyHazards implementation is optimized for the shared smoke benchmark rather than the full upstream training stack.

Registry Name
-------------

Primary entrypoint: ``firecastnet``

Supported Tasks
---------------

- Spread

Programmatic Use
----------------

.. code-block:: python

   import torch
   from pyhazards.models import build_model

   model = build_model(name="firecastnet", task="segmentation", in_channels=12)
   logits = model(torch.randn(2, 12, 16, 16))
   print(logits.shape)

Notes
-----

- The smoke configuration uses the single-frame wildfire spread raster fixture.
