TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - On the importance of firebrand processes in large outdoor fires JO - Journal of the Combustion Society of Japan A1 - Manzello, Samuel L. SP - e196 EP - 96 VL - 61 IS - N2 - Firebrands are produced from combustion of both vegetative and structural fuels in large outdoor fires. It is well known that firebrand generation, transport, and ignition mechanisms result in rapid and potentially devastating fire spread processes in large outdoor fires. In this article, the basic mechanisms of firebrand generation, transport, and ignition are discussed with an emphasis on how fundamental combustion knowledge may play an important role in this complex problem.
