Mass Fire Model Concept

Abstract

Review of the literature pertaining to mass fire onset and development indicates there exist no models that describe the onset and development of mass fires. The state-of-the-art is such that a low confidence level, parametric model can be developed. The theoretical basis, and a preliminary implementation, are described for a low confidence level, parametric model of mass fire onset and development in an urban environment.
