Title	Measuring and interpreting fire behavior for correlation with fire effects
Creator	Rothermel, Richard C.
Contributor	Deeming, John E. ;<br> Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Ogden, Utah)
Description	Attempts to correlate fire behavior to fire effects have been handicapped by the lack of clearly identifiable parameters for quantifying fire behavior. The authors identify two key parameters of fire behavior—heat per unit area and f ireline intensity—and offer methods for quantifying them from simple field observations of flame height and rate of spread. Adoption of these practices will improve experimental procedures, facilitate communication among fire behavior specialists, and provide for more precise correlation of fire behavior and fire effects. The methods outlined are effective in fine porous fuels distributed uniformly over the burn area. Experimenters must devise means for coping with variations in experimental conditions.
