An understanding of fire spread is important to the development of improved methods and systems for the control of free burning fires. Gaining knowledge about fire spread in forest fuels is complex because many variables are involved and because we still lack full understanding of the interaction of these variables. The research reported here involves studies of fire spread in natural forest fuels in which the characteristics of the fuel and the weather environment were controlled.
