Title: GENERATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF FIREBRANDS FROM SELECTED STRUCTURAL FUELS
Author: Hedayati, Faraz
Date Created: 2018
Description: Spotting by firebrands is the only mechanism that is capable of initiating fires miles from a fire line. The firebrand phenomenon can be understood in three major sequential phases: production, transportation, and ignition of the recipient fuel. A...
