A vegetation fire plume is a weakly ionised gaseous medium. Electrons in the plume are mainly due to thermal ionisation of incumbent alkali impurities. The medium is highly collisional with free electron - neutral particle been the dominant particle interaction mechanism. Signal strength of an incident millimetre wave (MM-Wave) may be significantly attenuated in the plume depending on the extent of ionisation. A numerical experiment was set to investigate signal power loss of a MM-Wave incident on a simulated weakly ionised fire plume with flame maximum (seat) temperature ranging from 1000–1150 K. The simulated fire plume had alkali impurities (potassium) content of 1.0% per unit volume. MM-Wave frequency range investigated in the experiment is from 30–60 GHz. The simulation has application in the prediction of MM-Wave propagation in a crown forest fire and may also be applied in remote sensing studies of forest fire environments. Simulated attenuation per unit path length for the MM-Wave frequencies ranged from 0.06–24.00 dBm−1. Phase change per unit path length was simulated to range from 2.97–306.17°m−1 while transmission power coefficients ranged from maximum of 0.9996 for a fire plume at 1000 K to a minimum value of 0.8265 for a plume at a temperature of 1150 K over a plume depth of 1.20 m. Absorption power coefficient ranged from a minimum value of 0.0004 to maximum value of 0.1585 at a seat temperature of 1150 K over the plume depth
