m4-pht.gif - 95.5 K
Fire behaviour:
  • Fire intensity and fast-spreading fires involve the foliage and live and dead fine woody material in the crowns of a nearly continuous secondary overstory.
  • Stands of mature shrub with about 2 m tall.
  • Besides flammable foliage, there is dead woody material in the stand that significantly contributes to the fire intensity.
  • Height of stands qualifying for this model depends on local conditions.
  • There may be also a deep litter layer that confounds suppression efforts.
