Assessing Crown Fire Potential by Linking Models of Surface and Crown Fire Behavior
Author: Joe H. Scott
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780756725693
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 59
Book Description
Fire managers are increasingly concerned about the threat of crown fires (CF), yet only now are quantitative methods for assessing CF hazard being developed. Links among existing mathematical models of fire behavior are used to develop two indices of CF hazard -- the Torching Index & Crowning Index. These indices can be used to coordinate different forest stands by their relative susceptibility to CF & to compare the effective. of CF mitigation treat. The coupled model was used to simulate the wide range of fire behavior possible in a forest stand for the purpose of comparing potential fire behavior. The concepts will apply to models for other regions & new models.

Assessing Crown Fire Potential by Linking Models of Surface and Crown Fire Behavior

Category : Fire risk assessment

Pages : 68
Book Description
Fire managers are increasingly concerned about the threat of crown fires, yet only now are quantitative methods for assessing crown fire hazard being developed. Links among existing mathematical models of fire behavior are used to develop two indices of crown fire hazard-the Torching Index and Crowning Index. These indices can be used to ordinate different forest stands by their relative susceptibility to crown fire and to compare the effectiveness of crown fire mitigation treatments. The coupled model was used to simulate the wide range of fire behavior possible in a forest stand, from a low-intensity surface fire to a high-intensity active crown fire, for the purpose of comparing potential fire behavior. The hazard indices and behavior simulations incorporate the effects of surface fuel characteristics, dead and live fuel moistures (surface and crown), slope steepness, canopy base height, canopy bulk density, and wind reduction by the canopy. Example simulations are for western Montana Pinus ponderosa and Pinus contorta stands. Although some of the models presented here have had limited testing or restricted geographic applicability, the concepts will apply to models for other regions and new models with greater geographic applicability.

ISBN:
Category : Fire management
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
This report describes a new set of standard fire behavior fuel models for use with Rothermels surface fire spread model and the relationship of the new set to the original set of 13 fire behavior fuel models. To assist with transition to using the new fuel models, a fuel model selection guide, fuel model crosswalk, and set of fuel model photos are provided.
