Fire behaviour:
  • Fires run through the surface litter faster than model 8 and have higher flame height.
  • Fall fires in hardwoods are representative, but high winds will actually cause higher rates of spread than predicted.
  • This is due to spotting caused by rolling and blowing leaves.
  • Concentrations of dead-down woody material will contribute to possible torching out of trees, spotting, and crowning.
