Many of the most spectacular wildland fires are observed when live fuel complexes become involved in the fire. When these fires occur in the wildland–urban interface (WUI) such as Melbourne, Australia (2009), the southern Peloponnese in Greece (2007), southern California in the United States (2007),...

Description
Summary:Many of the most spectacular wildland fires are observed when live fuel complexes become involved in the fire. When these fires occur in the wildland–urban interface (WUI) such as Melbourne, Australia (2009), the southern Peloponnese in Greece (2007), southern California in the United States (2007), and Portugal (2005), major destruction and loss of life can occur. Fires are observed in live fuel types on all continents except for Antarc-
