mike wotton is an eminent research scientist working for the canadian forest service his specialty fire behavior. this this one didn't spread it was only the match burning and so this tells me that this this fuel this is not flammable today. but i can tell how quickly this took off that the fuels are very foul flammable here so this area would be at a high fire risk. starting shortly after the big burn the canadian scientists performed no less then 30000 match tests over 30 years to one cover the hidden mechanism of flammability. the basis of how fire spreads all comes down to what we call the fire triangle. on one side of this triangle we have oxygen we need oxygen to burn on another side we need fuel. to burn as well and on the other we have. energy a source of heat and so we need all of these 3 sides of the triangle for fire to continue i take one of them away and that reaction doesn't work anymore in your fire goes out. the canadian scientists are the inventors of an ingenious system of universal warning signs. in. countries all across the globe that have adopted the system. more me
