Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex phenomenon of 'spotting' in wildfires - the initiation of new fires by burning embers lofted into the air and carried downwind. The author analyzes the factors that influence spotting distance, drawing on scientific equations and real-world observations. The text provides a detailed understanding of how trees burn and how their structure affects the behavior of firebrands and the resulting spotting distance. The book's insights into firebrand behavior and spotting dynamics advance our knowledge of wildfire behavior and will aid firefighters in developing more effective suppression strategies.
