"That's the recipe for elevated fire behaviour and increased chances of fire spreading beyond identified containment lines," he said.
A DFES alert issued on Thursday morning said the "undefendable" towns of Northcliffe, Parkfield, Bracken Rise and Double bridge remained under "imminent threat" from fire, because of "unpredictable fire behaviour".
Wind and vegetation effects on fire behaviour were particularly addressed.
The recorded data allowed us to reconstruct the fire behaviour and provide its main properties.
The cone calorimeter has been widely applied to assess the fire behaviour of materials.
Fire behaviour reflected the varying underlying terrain, fuel loads and surface soil or overburden conditions.
A demonstration of the stochastic model is provided for simulating fire behaviour in a forested landscape.
Parameters which have significant effect on the fire behaviour of CFDST columns are identified.
The most pertinent research needs for the various fire behaviour aspects addressed are also identified.
The developed fire behaviour model was tested using spatial data from the 2001 Dogrib Fire near Nordegg Alberta, Canada.
Fire behaviour outputs revealed that the control of understory shrubs through high overstory basal area can decrease surface fire intensity.
