Land cover type and time since last fire are state variables. The fire sub-model is responsible for updating time since last fire, whereas land cover type is updated in the vegetation dynamics sub-model. Fire processes occur sequentially until the annual target area is burnt. After that, the vegetation dynamics sub-model takes place to complete the annual cycle.
