It is found to be mainly dependent on the fire spread rate and the heat release rate.

This is more disturbance than was predicted to be necessary to treat forests to reduce fire spread rate and severity in the southern Sierra Nevada, but less than predicted to be necessary by fire models for other geographic locations.

Depending on material properties, a fire spread rate could be calculated, minimizing the set up time for the test operators and giving a more realistic environment.

The FBP system takes outputs of the FWI system along with other inputs specific to an individual fire's location and provides quantitative estimates of head fire spread rate, fuel consumption, and fire intensity, along with a basic fire description (e.g., surface, crown, and crown fraction burned) for 16 different important forest and rangeland types across Canada (Fig. 3).

Equations are introduced to reduce the range of possible fire sizes taking into account fire spread rates from real fires.

Calculated fire spread rates were then compared with that of the Hamada model, and reasonable agreements were obtained.

Using a simple conceptual model of the growth of a point ignition as an ellipse (Van Wagner 1969), the system also gives, as a set of secondary outputs, estimates of lateral (or flank) and back fire spread rates and consequently overall fire area perimeter length and growth rate (Fig. 3).

The influences of personnel density, fire location, exit width, fire spreading rate, and smoke spreading rate, on the evacuation efficiency are analyzed in detail.

A number of factors may affect this representativeness, including the fire itself (size, spread rate and duration), the reference height for fire wind measurement, the sensors (number and location), the vegetation, and weather conditions (wind speed and atmospheric stability).
