GRASS GIS is an extremely wonderful and powerful tool, but it does need <br>
some initial learning in order to understand how to use it. Just <br>
answering the questions below will not provide that for you.<br>
<br>
I would suggest that you go through some of the basic introductory <br>
material, just in order to get a feeling for GRASS GIS, before attacking <br>
your specific problem.<br>
<br>
You could have a look at the following resources (at least for their <br>
introductory parts):<br>

<br>
Or search for "GRASS GIS" in YouTube for some videos.<br>
<br>

<br>
How you create these files depends on the data that you have as input.<br>
<br>
If you look at the metadata of the file in the demolocation <br>
(right-click->Metadata or '<a href="http://r.info" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">r.info</a> 1hour_moisture' you will this <br>
information at the end:<br>
<br>
| Data Description: <br>
|<br>
| generated by r.mapcalc <br>
|<br>
| <br>
|<br>
| Comments: <br>
|<br>
| if(fuel_class==4,3,if(fuel_class==8,15))<br>
<br>
<br>
This means that the authors had a raster file called 'fuel_class' and <br>
used the raster calculator (r.mapcalc) to reclass that file attributing <br>
the value 3 to those pixels who had class=4 in the original map and <br>
value 15 to pixels with class=8.<br>
<br>
I have no idea what this original map contained, so cannot help you <br>
further (I don't know much about fire spread modeling).<br>

<br>
If you have the origin location as coordinates, you can create a vector <br>
point at the location using v.in.ascii: in the GUI of that module you <br>
can enter coordinates interactively. Then you convert the map to a <br>
raster map using v.to.rast.<br>
