This book examines the spread of wildland fires, using a mathematical model to predict the distance over which spotting can be expected ahead of a fire front. The model is based on the work of previous authors and extends it to include the lofting of firebrands by large, steady, isolated flames such as those from the burning of heavy fuel accumulations. The model and its extensions have been coded as algorithms for pocket calculators for easy field application, and provides a valuable aid to tactical fire suppression planning. This book provides a well-marked trail through the analytical thicket of the model to help in finding and fixing the flaws it probably includes so that future research can trace such defects to their sources within the model so they can be corrected. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
