What is slope over fire?
Slope over fire refers to the relationship between the steepness of terrain (slope) and the behavior of fire, particularly in wildland fire management. Steeper slopes can lead to faster fire spread and increased intensity, as flames can more easily reach unburned fuels above them. The concept emphasizes the importance of topography in predicting fire behavior and planning firefighting strategies. Understanding slope over fire is crucial for assessing fire risk and implementing effective control measures.
