Flame Length Theory

Flame Length Theory relates to how tall a fire’s flames appear, which depends on both the amount of fuel available and wind conditions. Essentially, when there's more fuel or stronger wind, flames tend to grow taller, indicating a more intense fire. Flame length helps firefighters assess fire severity; longer flames suggest a higher risk of rapid spread and more challenging control. This relationship helps in planning firefighting strategies and understanding the potential danger of a wildfire based on current conditions.
