DOI: 10.1016/j.firesaf.2017.04.039

Abstract: Abstract Firebrand shower and its subsequent spot fires are responsible for more than half of the ignitions reported during wildfires, in particular at wildland urban interface (WUI) areas. The firebrand transport is a highly stochastic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.firesaf.2017.05.019

Abstract: Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires have become a problem of great concern across multiple continents. An important mechanism of structure ignition in WUI fires and urban fires is the production of firebrands. During WUI fires, decking… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.firesaf.2019.102833

Abstract: Abstract Ember/firebrand spotting is an important mechanism by which wildland fires can rapidly spread. This process occurs when firebrands from a fire upwind land on a fuel downwind. These firebrands may initiate a flaming fire… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wf23116

Abstract: Background Wildfires represent a significant threat to peatlands globally, but whether peat fires can be initiated by a lofted firebrand is still unknown. Aims We investigated the ignition threshold of peat fires by a glowing… read more here.

A simplified model to incorporate firebrand transport into coupled fire atmosphere models

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "International Journal of Wildland Fire"

DOI: 10.1071/wf24200

Abstract: Background During wildfires, vegetation elements can be ignited and detached leading to the generation of firebrands. These firebrands can be lifted by the fire plume, transported far away from the main fire, and ignite new… read more here.
