Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Model for Predicting Lightning Fire Ignition in Wildland Fuels This report, the second of several planned on the topic of lightning-caused fires (see Preface), describes the development and structure of a model for predicting the ignition of Wildland fuels by lightning. The model is both physical and stochastic in structure. The physical processes for ignition of fine woody fuels by lightning are the basis for the model. Stochastic processes are used to generalize site conditions for a large area and the chance occurrence of simultaneous events required for ignition.
