| Summary: | Low intensity flames in grasses during Far View prescribed fire, November 2001. In Burn Unit 2, fire behavior was moderate to intense throughout the entire burning period. Mostly backing fires were witnessed, except when wind gusts produced heading fires. Spread rates were mostly 2-10 chains/hour with flame lengths of 3-18" in grass and 2-10' in brush, and reached 60 chains/hr with flame lengths of 2-3' in grass and 10-20' during the strongest wind gusts. Flame lengths of 50-80' were observed during the occasional torching of pinyon and juniper trees. Solid ground fuels were mostly consumed. In Burn Unit 1, lighter fuels resulted in lower burn intensities. Spread rates of 2-10 chains/hr were observed in grass, and reached 5-15 chains/hr in shrub clumps. Runs were short-lived and patchy due to sparse fuels over much of the burn unit and increasing relative humidities later in the day. |
