Environmental Factors:
- Dry weather: Low humidity and high temperatures increase fuel flammability.
- Wind: Strong winds fan flames and spread embers.
- Drought: Vegetation becomes dry and more susceptible to ignition.
- Slope: Fires spread more rapidly uphill.
- Fuel load: The amount and type of vegetation available to burn influences fire intensity and spread.
Human Factors:
- Accidental ignitions: Campfires, fireworks, burning debris, and arson.
- Equipment failures: Electrical sparks, faulty appliances, or machinery malfunctions.
- Human carelessness: Leaving unattended fires or not properly extinguishing cigarettes.
- Intentional firesetting: Arson or prescribed burns that get out of control.
- Urbanization: Encroachment into fire-prone areas increases the risk of ignition and spread.
Fuel Characteristics:
- Ignition potential: Some vegetation, such as dry grass or pine needles, ignites easily.
- combustibility: The rate at which fuel burns determines fire intensity.
- Size and shape: Large, interconnected fuels spread fires more quickly.
- Moisture content: Dry fuels burn more readily than wet ones.
- Density: Dense vegetation provides more fuel and can impede firefighting efforts.
Geographical Features:
- Canyons and ravines: Funnel winds and direct flames towards populated areas.
- Mountain passes: Create wind tunnels that accelerate fire spread.
- Vegetation patterns: Edges between different vegetation types create fire breaks or fuel corridors.
- Fuel breaks: Natural or human-made barriers that interrupt fire progression.
Other Factors:
- Fire behavior: Fire intensity, rate of spread, and flame height can influence spread patterns.
- Firefighting resources: Availability and effectiveness of firefighting equipment and personnel can alter fire outcomes.
- Communications: Deficiencies in communication can delay response times and hinder coordination.
