Fuel beds of ponderosa pine needles and white pine needles were burned under controlled environmental conditions to determine the effects of fuel moisture and windspeed upon the rate of fire spread. Empirical formulas are presented to show the effect of these parameters. A discussion of rate of spread and some simple experiments show how fuel may be preheated before the fire reaches the fuel. The interrelationship between unit energy release rate and rate of spread produces a fire characteristics curve. Diffusion flame analysis shows good agreement when working with 1/2-inch stick fires.

Excerpt from Fire Spread Characteristics Determined in the Laboratory This study was designed to find the relative importance of fuel moisture and wind upon the rate of fire spread in light forest fuels. Systematic investigations of a physical phenomenon often produce an insight into its cause and effect. Through this technique, the authors hoped to gain a better understanding of the basic mechanisms of fire spread, which would enable them to develop hypotheses to be analyzed in future experiments.
