Document Type Full Issue Publication Date 1983 Abstract This manual documents procedures for estimating the rate of forward spread, intensity, flame length, and size of fires burning in forests and rangelands. Contains instructions for obtaining fuel and weather data, calculating fire behavior, and interpreting the results for application to actual fire problems. Potential uses include fire predict ion, fire planning, dispatching, prescribed fires, and monitoring managed fires.
