The motion of a strong line thermal in an unstratified atmosphere is modeled to estimate a bound for its capability to life firebrand particles. It is found that the maximum height of a viable firebrand is roughly proportional to the square root of thermal strength. The…

A cinematographic film of a tornado which formed over a severe bushfire in 1962 in Victoria has been analysed. Notable findings are that a flame rose in the core to a height of 260 feet, that the core velocities were up to 205 m.p.h. vertically, at least 20-30 m.p.h.…

The control of large fires is a problem of continuing concern to the Forest Service, other public agencies, and private owners of forest and rangeland. A few large fires each year account for all but a small share of the Nation's forest fire losses. In time of war, this problem…
