Wildfire fatalities remain a significant problem in Mediterranean Europe. Although there is a
strong inter-annual variability with regard to their number, repeated tragic accidents remind …

This paper reports two experimental fires conducted at field-scale in Corsica, across a
particular mountain shrubland. The orientation of the experimental plots was chosen in such …

A new approach for the derivation of elliptical model of steady-state forest fire spread in time
based on classical envelope theory is described. The derivation of this model known in the …

Forest fires are can be fatal for firefighters owing to the phenomenon of eruptive fire. The
hypothesis of this study is that biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) accumulate in …

Fire eruption (also known as 'blow-up'or 'flare-up') is a very dangerous aspect of wildland fire
behaviour. It poses a significant threat to the safety of wildland fire-fighters and complicates …

Strategies for coping with normal wildfires are everywhere inadequate in the case of intense,
fast-moving ones and much more in the face of extreme wildfire events (EWEs). After a …

The present work aims to develop a calculus algorithm for simulating the fire perimeter
evolution of a point ignition fire spreading upslope or under constant wind. A study of the …

In describing the 13 wildland firefighter fatalities that occurred on the Mann Gulch Fire near
Helena, Montana, on August 5, 1949, Norman Maclean 285 wrote in his award-winning …

Les feux extrêmes sont des feux caractérisés par une forte puissance et une vitesse de
propagation élevée qui rendent les moyens de lutte impuissants. Ces phénomènes …

Computer modelling of dangerous phenomena related to fire in forest or in wildland-urban
interface is an important tool to support emergency planning for such complicated events. In …
