Wildfires are uncontrolled combustion events occurring in the natural environment (forest,
grassland, or peatland). The frequency and size of these fires are expected to increase …

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 …

While the wildland–urban interface (WUI) is not a new concept, fires in WUI communities
have rapidly expanded in frequency and severity over the past few decades. The number of …

Spotting during wildfires can significantly influence the way wildfires spread and reduce the
chances of successful containment by fire crews. However, there is little published empirical …

Wildland fires and wildland urban-interface (WUI) fires have become a significant problem in
recent years. The mechanisms of home ignition in WUI fires are direct flame contact, thermal …

Firebrands play a critical role in the propagation of wildland fires, particularly in the wildland-
urban interface (WUI). The mechanism behind fire spread by firebrands is not well …

Firebrands, controlling spot fires, are often responsible for fast damages in wildland and
urban fires. However, the behaviours of firebrands are difficult to predict. In this study, we …

Firebrands are a harbinger of damage to infrastructure; their effects cause a particularly
important threat to people living within the wildland-urban-interface. Short-range firebrands …

Fire spread occurs via radiation, flame contact, and firebrands. While firebrand showers are
known to be a cause of spot fires which ignite fuels far from the main fire front, in the case of …

Generation of firebrands from various fuels has been well-studied in the past decade.
Limited details have been released about the methodology for characterizing firebrands …
