Mensurational parameters of a range of lodgepole pine stands were correlated with loading of individual fuel components and the total fuel complex. Except for the aerial fuel components consisting of dead complex were considered inadequate for the modern fire control organization. In ability to document conditions at the time of stand establishment and subsequent stand history were considered most responsible for the poor correlations. Recommendation for simulation of the forest fuel complex and a means visually comparing the vertical distribution of fuel components are provided.
