fire growth

Fire growth refers to how a fire increases in size, intensity, and spread over time. It depends on factors like fuel availability, oxygen supply, and heat. When a fire starts, it can stay small if there's limited fuel or oxygen, but if conditions are favorable, it can quickly grow larger and more dangerous. The fire produces heat that preheats nearby materials, making them easier to ignite, leading to rapid expansion. Understanding fire growth helps in predicting how a fire will develop and in implementing effective safety and suppression strategies.
