Excerpt from Fire Spread Characteristics Determined in the Laboratory This study was designed to find the relative importance of fuel moisture and wind upon the rate of fire spread in light forest fuels. Systematic investigations of a physical phenomenon often produce an insight into its cause and effect. Through this technique, the authors hoped to gain a better understanding of the basic mechanisms of fire spread, which would enable them to develop hypotheses to be analyzed in future experiments.
