Author(s): Robert E. Burgan
Publication Date: 1987

The basic concepts of fuel modeling were presented in the fuel subsystem of BEHAVE. This report expands on these concepts in an attempt to provide a better understanding of the technical details of constructing site-specific fire behavior fuel models. This discussion is mathematical. It is aimed at fire managers who are familiar with the fire model and who may be dealing with difficult fuels situations.
