This data product contains data from 240 laboratory fire spread experiments in high bulk density fuel beds of live chaparral vegetation from the North Mountain Experimental Area in California, carried out between 2003 and 2006. Fuels consisted of branches and foliage from Adenostoma fasciculatum (chamise), Ceanothus crassifolius (ceanothus), Arctostaphylos glandulosa (manzanita), and Quercus berberidifolia (scrub oak). Laboratory environmental conditions, fuel bed characteristics, wind and slope values, and fire behavior data including spread success, rate of spread, flame length, and flame angle are included. [This data product is archived in the USFS Research Data Archive, number RDS-2015-0007.]
