Fire behavior:
  • Fire carries through the shrub layer where the foliage is more flammable than fuel model 5, but requires moderate winds, greater than 8 mi/h at midflame height.
  • Fire will drop to the ground at low wind speeds or openings in the stand.
  • The shrubs are older, but not as tall as shrub types of model 4, nor do they contain as much fuel as model 4.
  • A broad range of shrub conditions is covered by this model.
