Firebrands play a vital role in the propagation of fire by starting new fires called spotfires,
ahead of the fire front during wildfire progression. Firebrands are a harbinger of damage to …

Abstract Aim The aims were:(1) to identify the environmental drivers of interannual variation
in wildfire extent and severity;(2) to examine temporal trends in climatic potential for large …

The suggestion has been made within the wildland fire community that the rate of spread in
the upper portion of the fire danger spectrum is largely independent of the physical fuel …

Fuel hazard estimates are vital for the prediction of fire behaviour and planning fuel
treatment activities. Previous literature has highlighted the potential of Terrestrial Laser …

The Waroona fire burned 69 000 ha south of Perth in January 2016. There were two
fatalities and 170 homes were lost. Two evening ember storms were reported and …

Wildfire extent and their impacts are increasing around the world. Fire management
agencies use fire behaviour simulation models operationally (during a wildfire event) or …

As the climate changes with the population expansion in Pakistan, wildfires are becoming
more threatening. The goal of this study was to understand fire trends which might help to …

Firebrands (often called embers) increase the propagation rate of wildfires and often cause
the ignition and destruction of houses. Predicting the motion of firebrands and the ignition of …

Increasing extreme wildfire occurrence globally is boosting demand to understand the fuel
dynamics and fire risk of fire-prone areas. This is particularly pressing in fire-prone …

The role of live vegetation fuel properties in altering fire behaviour is increasingly being
recognised. The techniques utilised to assess how fuel characteristics impact fire behaviour …
