A fact often overlooked is that large-scale wildfires, although occurring infrequently, are
responsible for the overwhelming majority of fire-related suppression costs, economic …

Extreme wildfire events in recent years are shaking our established knowledge of how fire
regimes respond to climate variables and how societies need to react to fire impacts. Albeit …

In the complex Alpine topography, canyon-like terrain morphology combined with steep
slopes may cause sudden changes in fire behavior, for instance, turning fast-spreading …

Surface fire is the most prevalent type of wildland fire and dominates the cost of wildland
firefighting. The high-intensity burning behaviors in surface fires stem from the significant …

An optimized data-matching machine learning algorithm is developed to provide high-
prediction accuracy of total burned areas for specific wildfire incidents. It is applied to a well …

Background Two fire ignitions in Pedrógão Grande on 7 June 2017 had very fast due to
unusual physical processes associated with the interaction between an overhead …

A conceptual model based on the dynamic interaction between fire, the fuel bed and the
surrounding flow to explain the non-monotonic or intermittent behaviour of fires is proposed …

An experimental study at a laboratory scale that aims to compare the fire behaviour in two
configurations: a regular flat slope and a slope with an embedded canyon. In configurations …

Background In Pedrógão Grande on 17 June 2017, two fire fronts merged and the
propagation of the fire was influenced by the interaction of these non-symmetric fire fronts …

Parcel-level risk (PLR) describes how wildfire risk varies from home to home based on
characteristics that relate to likely fire behavior, the susceptibility of homes to fire, and the …
