destroying agricultural crops and forest, emitting large amounts of CO2and air pollutants, resulting in adverse health effects. In order to reduce fire, the Indonesian government has committed to restore 2.49 Mha of degraded peatland, with an estimated cost of US$3.2-7 billion....
particularly when interacting with communities, have been dire and have resulted in substantial socio-economic losses all over the world2,3. In North America, most notably was the 2016 Mcmurray fire in which the fire burned through 1,500,000 acres, causing destruction...

A specific modeling of the forest fire frequency in relation to regional environmental factors is important [33] as it would help to assess the impact of infrastructure and management on the burned area. Our goal was to improve the simulation of the forest fire frequency and burned area in ...

Introduction It is the purpose of this contribution to apply a recently-developed ...
In fire scenarios with 30 MW and longitudinal ventilation, the constant CO and HCN generation rates are assumed to be 108 g/s and 27 g/s. 3. Smoke Environment (SE) Map Integrating Visibility and Toxic Gas 3.1. Smoke Exposure Risk and Corresponding Smoke Environment Levels Heat, smoke, and...
Fire 2023, 6, 308 4 of 26 However, this is at the expense of significantly increasing the computational complexity of the model [52]. The simulation was conducted in flat terrain without accounting for wind effects [53]. In general, forests exhibit a high tree canopy cover. During ...
Knowledge of vegetation types and fuel loads allows for evaluation of a potential fire’s size, rate, and severity, as well as aids in short- and long-term fire planning and resource allocation [28]. Fire behavior simulation and consumption models (e.g., Consume, FOFEM, and CanFIRE) ...
Nevertheless, Figure 8c, which is the most recent GHG emission risk map, shows a decrease in the reduction effect of the water point due to the increase in carbon stock, with the rest of the variables’ values being equal after ten years. Higher-risk fuel model types influenced this genera...
