From the text:'In the Far East, wild forest fires make up 98% of the burned area. A characteristic feature of these fires is rapid advance over the surface fuel materials, during which time the forest litter is burned to an insignificant depth and flame burning predominates over the flameless burning. Developement and improvement of means for extinguishing these fires is presently hampered by a lack of knowledge about the process of spreading of the flame. In connection with this undertook to investigate the mechanism of travel of combustion, to attempt to establish its basic laws and to find more effective methods of localizing wild forest fires.'
