Response of free-burning fires to nonsteady wind

A speculative, phenomenological model is formulated for the time-varying intensity and spread rate of a free-burning fire under the influence of nonsteady wind. The model is linearized by approximations and explicit solutions derived for the amplitude response of spread rate and…

Forest fires: their causes, extent and effects, with a summary of recorded destruction and loss

[from the text] Forest fires in the United States have caused an average annual loss of about 70 human lives, the destruction of trees worth at the very least $25,000,000, and the loss of stock, crops, buildings, and other improvements to the amount of many millions more. To…
