Book Description
"This note extends a predictive model for estimating spot fire distance from burning trees (Albini, Frank A. 1979. Spot fire distance from burning trees--a predictive model. USDA For. Serv. Gen. Tech. Rep. INT-56, 73 p. Intermt. For. and Range Exp. Stn., Ogden, Utah). A formula is given for the maximum firebrand lofting height by continuous flames, such as from burning piles, jackpots of woody fuel, and so forth. This height may be used directly in the algorithm detailed in the earlier work. Also, formulas and graphs are given for estimating maximum spot fire distance when the terrain downwind of the source of firebrands is covered by vegetation of low height, bare ground, or water, rather than forest. This extension is implemented by establishing an "effective" or minimum vegetation height to be used in the formulas given in the earlier work. The effective vegetation cover height so derived depends on the firebrand initial height."

Spot Fire Distance Equations for Pocket Calculators

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 21
Book Description
This note presents equations for calculating maximumn spot fire distance from firebrand sources in the Intermountain West based on prevailing windspeed, vegetation cover, and terrain in the area. The equations include the capability to predict spotting distance from a torching tree(s) or from a continuous flame source such as slash piles or jackpots on heavy fuels. The equations can be used on a programmable pocket calculator. Potential uses are seen in fire management planning and realtime fire behavior predictions. For copies of a program for the Texas Instruments TI-59, send seven blank TI-59 magnetic cards to the author.
