Massive tree mortality has occurred rapidly in frequent-fire-adapted forests of the Sierra
Nevada, California. This mortality is a product of acute drought compounded by the long …

The use of spatially explicit fire spread models to assess fire propagation and behaviour has
several applications for fire management and research. We used the FARSITE simulator to …

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 …

This paper presents results from a computational and laboratory investigation of wind flow
and fire spread over an isolated sloped-ridgeline laboratory-scale hill under various slopes …

Spotting is thought to increase wildfire rate of spread (ROS) and in some cases become the
main mechanism for spread. The role of spotting in wildfire spread is controlled by many …

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 …

In this paper, the problem related with a fire front propagating laterally on a slope with a
nearby canyon is presented. The presence of the canyon can modify the intensity of the fire …

Adverse weather conditions and topographic influences are suspected to be responsible for
most entrapments of firefighters in Australia. A lack of temporally and spatially coherent set …

This study presents new knowledge of the environmental sensitivity of a dynamic mode of
atypical wildland fire spread on steep lee‐facing slopes. This is achieved through a series of …

In a quiescent atmosphere, the flame spread process in porous fuels is controlled to a large
degree by the fuel bed structure, fuel loading and bulk density, and fuel moisture content …
