Results show that the sensitive experiments can provide the meteorological elements close to observations, such as the temperatures, winds and turbulent kinetic energy near the surface in the vicinity of the fire. The simulations also can reproduce the fire spread shape and speed, fire intensity, ...
If a crew can “insulate as a unit” or create a “module as one”, they can limit outside exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and may be able to safely complete operational tasks in closer proximity (CDC, 2020c; MPHAT, 2020). However, this will require all fire personnel to be vigilant when ...
The wildland-urban interface (WUI) is defined as the area where houses and other structures are built within or close to wildland vegetation (USDA and USDI2001). The term is used in the context of wildfire to identify settlements that are potentially at risk from fire (Caton et al.2016; ...
Because the sup- pression module is not used in this study and FSim does not employ a specific fire- or sea- son-ending threshold, simulated wildfires were permitted to grow until the end of the fire sea- son. Therefore, our simulations assumed that an unsuppressed wildfire would spread on...
