An Analysis of Fire Phenomena (Classic Reprint)

Sundance Fire

Mechanisms of Fire Spread Research Progress Report No. 1

The Sundance Fire on September 1, 1967, made a spectacular run of 16 miles in 9 hours and destroyed more than 50,000 acres. This run became the subject of a detailed research analysis of the environmental, topographic, and vegetation variables aimed at reconstructing and describing fire phenomena. This report details the fire's progress; discusses the fire's buildup in intensity, the fuel complex through which it traveled, the wind and other atmospheric variables affecting the fire's behavior; and describes the processes that probably account for the tree breakage and blowdown, the long-range spotting, and the subsidence of the fire's run.
