Fire Behaviour 5 : The manner in which fuel ignites, flame develops, and fire spreads and exhibits other related phenomena as determined by the interaction of fuels, we ather, and topography. Some common terms used to describe fire behaviour include the following: Smouldering: A fire burning without flame and barely spreading. Creeping: A fire spreading slowly over the ground, generally with a low flame. Running: A fire rapidly spreading and with a well-defined head. Torch or Torching: A single tree or a small clump of trees is said to "torch" when its foliage ignites and flares up, usually from bottom to top. Syn: Candle or Candling. Spotting: A fire producing firebrands carried by the surface wind, a fire whirl, and/or convection column that fall beyond the main fire perimeter and result in spot fires.
