Fire Behaviour 7
Fire Behaviour 7 : The reaction of a fire to the influences of fuel, weather, and topography. Different types of fire behaviour include: (1) Smouldering fire - A fire burning without flame and with minimal rate of spread. (2) Creeping fire - A fire with a low rate of spread and generally with a low flame length. (3) Running fire - A fire with a high rate of spread. (4) Torching - A fire that burns from the ground through the surface and aerial fuels and into the crown of a single tree or small parcel of trees. (5) Spotting - fire behaviour where sparks and hot burning embers are transported by the wind or convection column to land beyond the fire perimeter resulting in spot fires. (6) Crowning - When a fire burns freely in the upper foliage of trees and shrubs
