Fire behaviour:
  • Fires in this fuel are the most intense of the grass group and display high rates of spread under the influence of wind.
  • The fire may be driven into the upper heights of the grass stand by the wind and cross standing water.
  • Stands are tall, averaging about 1 m, but may vary considerably.
  • Approximately one-third or more of the stand is considered dead or cured and maintains the fire.
  • Wild or cultivated grains that have not been harvested can be considered.
