Abstract

This report presents photographic examples, tabulations, and a similarity chart to assist fire behavior officers, fuel management specialists, and other field personnel in selecting a fuel model appropriate for a specific field situation.Proper selection of a fuel model is a critical step in the mathematical modeling of fire behavior and fire danger rating.This guide will facilitate the selection of the proper fire behavior fuel model and will allow comparison with fire danger rating fuel models.The 13 fire behavior fuel models are presented in 4 fuel groups: grasslands, shrublands, timber, and slash.Each group comprises three or more fuel models; two or more photographs illustrate field situations relevant to each fuel model.The 13 fire behavior fuel models are crossreferenced to the 20 fuel models of the National Fire Danger Rating System by means of a similarity chart.Fire behavior fuel models and fire danger rating fuel models, along with the fire-carrying features of the model and its physical characteristics, are described in detail.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
