We begin our study of wildland fire with the basic principles and mechanisms of the combustion process-fire fundamentals. In the next chapter we look at wildland fire as an event. Fire behavior is what a fire does, the dynamics of the fire event. In later chapters we move up the scale to fire on the landscape, and in the final chapter, global fire. Figure 1.1 illustrates this expanding view of wildland fire.
