Fuels, Weather, and Fire Behavior-Overview 1

Description:

An article about the components of wildfire. It is important to understand what controls fire behavior and how to predict it. This knowledge will help predict fire effects, conduct prescribed burns, predict wildfire risk, and control wildfires. Fire behavior is controlled by three interacting components: fuels, weather, and topography.

Wildfire modeling

Description:

An article on wildfire modeling. It is concerned with numerical simulation of wildland fires in order to understand and predict fire behavior. Wildfire modeling can ultimately aid wildland fire suppression, namely increase safety of firefighters and the public, reduce risk, and minimize damage. Wildfire modeling can also aid in protecting ecosystems, watersheds, and air quality.
