A fact often overlooked is that large-scale wildfires, although occurring infrequently, are
responsible for the overwhelming majority of fire-related suppression costs, economic …

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 …

In wildfire science, spotting refers to non-local creation of new fires, due to downwind
ignition of brands launched from a primary fire. Spotting is often mentioned as being one of …

The availability of wildland fire propagation models with parameters estimated in an
accurate way starting from measurements of fire fronts is crucial to predict the evolution of …

Spotting is thought to increase wildfire rate of spread (ROS) and in some cases become the
main mechanism for spread. The role of spotting in wildfire spread is controlled by many …

This is the second part of a series of two papers concerning fire-spotting generated fires.
While, in the first part, we focus on the impact of macro-scale factors on the growth of the …

Wildland fires are responsible for large socio-economic impacts. Fires affect the
environment, damage structures, threaten lives, cause health issues, and involve large …

Many nonlinear phenomena, whose numerical simulation is not straightforward, depend on
a set of parameters in a way which is not easy to predict beforehand. Wildland fires in …

Fire spotting is often responsible for dangerous flare-ups in wildfires and causes secondary
ignitions isolated from the primary fire zone, which lead to perilous situations. The main aim …

One crucial mechanism in the spread of wildfires is the so-called fire-spotting: a random
phenomenon that occurs when embers are transported over large distances. Fire-spotting …
