Fire Behaviour

Fire behaviour refers to how fires start, spread, and extinguish, influenced by factors like fuel (material burning), weather (wind, temperature, humidity), and terrain. It determines the rate of fire growth, intensity, and direction. For example, dry, windy conditions can cause a fire to spread rapidly, while moist or less flammable fuels help slow it down. Understanding fire behaviour helps predict its movement and assists in effective suppression efforts, ensuring safety and control during firefighting operations.
