Abstract:
The burnout of large-sized woody fuels, 1 to 6 inches thick, is being measured at the USDA Forest Service Northern Forest Fire Laboratory in Missoula, Mont. Physical properties of the fuel bed are varied to determine thresholds for interactive burning, periods of flaming and glowing combustion, and the accuracy of a mathematical model that describes combustion during the flaming phase of burnout. Critical fuel properties include loading, fuel size, and spacing--the distance between outside edges of pieces of the same size. This work is being related to the heat loads on the site and the fire effects on physical and biological features of urban and rural situations.
