Performance of fire danger indices and their utility in predicting future wildfire danger over the conterminous United States
Predicting current and future wildfire frequency and size is central to wildfire control and management. Multiple fire danger indices (FDIs) that incorporate weather and fuel conditions have been developed and utilized to support wildfire…

Size and energy distribution of firebrands produced from burning trees
Firebrands generated from wildfires can contribute to wildfire spread and are a threat to structures in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Understanding the characteristics such as the firebrand size, mass and heat flux to the recipient fuel are…

Effect of flame zone depth on the correlation of flame length with fireline intensity
Background: Previously established correlations of flame length L with fireline intensity IB are based on theory and data which showed that flame zone depth D of a line fire could be neglected if L was much greater than D. Aims: We evaluated this…

Examining and Reforming the Rothermel Surface Fire Spread Model under No-Wind and Zero-Slope Conditions for the Karst Ecosystems
The Rothermel model, which has been widely used to predict the rate of forest fire spread, has errors that restrict its ability to reflect the actual rate of spread (ROS). In this study, the fuels from seven typical tree species in the Karst…
