a. What is the Heat per Unit Area? b. What is the Fireline Intensity? c. There is a 10-fold increase in rate of spread for this afternoon. What is the expected flame length and fire intensity? 4. At the moment, light winds are blowing across the fire, but in the distance, a large flag is fully extended. Looking at the tree tops, saplings are swaying violently, even some larger trees sway noticeably. Use the Beaufort scale for estimating 20-foot wind speed in Appendix B and give a range of estimated wind speeds based on these observations. What might this indicate later in the day?
