Fire behaviour:
  • Fires are fairly active in the slash and herbaceous material intermixed with the slash.
  • The spacing of the rather light fuel load, shading from overstory, or the aging of the fine fuels can contribute to limiting the fire potential.
  • Light partial cuts or thinning operations in mixed conifer stands, hardwood stands, and southern pine harvests are considered.
  • Clear-cut operations generally produce more slash than represented here.
  • The less-than-3-inch material load is less than 12 tons per acre.
  • The greater-than-3-inch material is represented by not more than 10 pieces, 6 inches in diameter, along a 1500-m transect.
