Large outdoor fires are an increasing danger to the built environment. Wildfires that spread
into communities, labeled as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, are an example of large …

A fact often overlooked is that large-scale wildfires, although occurring infrequently, are
responsible for the overwhelming majority of fire-related suppression costs, economic …

While the wildland–urban interface (WUI) is not a new concept, fires in WUI communities
have rapidly expanded in frequency and severity over the past few decades. The number of …

Firebrands play a vital role in the propagation of fire by starting new fires called spotfires,
ahead of the fire front during wildfire progression. Firebrands are a harbinger of damage to …

This paper represents a study on the characterization of firebrand production which was
carried out, using experimental fires conducted as prescribed fires in the New Jersey Pine …

An experimental approach has been developed to quantify the characteristics and flux of
firebrands during a management-scale wildfire in a pine-dominated ecosystem. By …

Due to socio-economic and climatic changes around the world, large outdoor fires in the
built environment have become one of the global issues that threaten billions of people. The …

Smoldering firebrands can be lofted over long distances, easily igniting spot fires. This
poses a threat to structures in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), where wildland fires …

Surface fire is the most prevalent type of wildland fire and dominates the cost of wildland
firefighting. The high-intensity burning behaviors in surface fires stem from the significant …

Research in the pursuit of better understanding of fire behavior and fire‐atmosphere
interaction has frequently encountered a dearth of observational data, especially from …
