Standard Fire Behavior Fuel Models
Author: Joe H. ScottPublisher:
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.
How to Predict the Spread and Intensity of Forest and Range Fires

Nomographs for Estimating Surface Fire Behavior Characteristics
Author: Joe H. ScottPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Flame spread
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
A complete set of nomographs for estimating surface fire rate of spread and flame length for the original 13 and new 40 fire behavior fuel models is presented. The nomographs allow calculation of spread rate and flame length for wind in any direction with respect to slope and allow for nonheading spread directions. Basic instructions for use are included.

Fire Behavior in Black Spruce-lichen Woodland
Author: Martin E. AlexanderPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Forest fires
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
The behaviour of single point-ignition and line-ignition experimental fires was studied in upland black spruce-lichen woodland stands at Porter Lake in the Caribou Range of the Northwest Territories from June 26-July 8, 1982. The experimental burning project objective was to relate the head fire rate of spread (ROS) in this fuel type to the initial spread index (ISI) component of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System. The experimental fire plots varied in size from 0.02 ha-0.65 ha. and the live tree overstory averaged about 1200 stems/ha and 5.0 m in height. The lichen layer averaged about 3.5 cm in depth. Three point-ignition fires, seven line-ignition fires, and one wildfire were documented over a wide range of burning conditions. A relationship for equilibrium fire spread in black spruce-lichen woodland stands was established.
