fb_class: Fuel break class; string class1 = Managed fuel, class2 = Protective break only
vegetation_community: Vegetation community from the Vegetation_Community field of fuel load data frame
slope_type: Position of property; string upslope, downslope or none
effective_slope: Slope in degrees
max_fire_run_distance: Maximum fire run distance in metres
datdf: Data frame with Vegetation_Community, SFFL (surface) and OFFL (overall) fine fuel loads, understory height in HGT, and Vegetation_Category ("Forest, Rainforest and Woodland", "Shrub, Scrub and Heath","Grassland" or "Tussock Moorland") to select fire model
id: Point ID number
dist: Distance field, unsure purpose
