Reliable and accurate models of the speed of a wildfire front as it moves across the
landscape are essential for the timely prediction of its propagation, to devise suitable …

The prediction of fire propagation across landscapes is necessary for safe and effective fire
management. We analyzed the predictive accuracy of models currently used operationally in …

This paper describes the development of two empirical models to predict the potential
spread of an established line of fire in dry eucalypt forest with a shrubby understorey. These …

Fire behaviour data from Project Vesta experimental fires were used to evaluate the fire
behaviour relationship on the Forest Fire Danger Meter (FFDM), the Forest Fire Behaviour …

The prediction of wildfire rate of spread and growth under high wind speeds and dry fuel
moisture conditions is key to taking proactive actions to warn and in turn protect …

We evaluated the predictive capacity of a rate of spread model for active crown fires (MG
Cruz, ME Alexander, and RH Wakimoto. 2005. Can. J. For. Res. 35: 1626–1639) using a …

The knowledge of a free-burning fire's potential rate of spread is critical for safe and effective
bushfire control and use. A number of models for predicting the head-fire rate of spread in …

Accurately predicting fire spread and behaviour on the fireline, in the field, is highly
important in order to prevent the loss of human life, improve the success of initial attack and …

Key message The collective analysis of a relatively large number of wildfire observations
documented in conifer forests, dry eucalypt forests and temperate shrublands revealed that …

Wild land fire is an important problem from the ecological, economical and social point of
view. Fire propagation simulation is seen as a challenging problem in the area of simulation …
