Kalindu,

   In grass, all 'themes,' or 'layers' are kept as separate maps, not a
single file. For example, your DEM for the area of a wildfire will be in one
raster map, the slope and aspect in another, etc. This way you can combine
each specific map with others to perform the analyses needed.

   Keeping everything in a single file, such as your spreadsheet, does not
support re-use.

   As you learn more about grass you'll appreciate the differences.

HTH,

Rich
