FIRE BEHAVIOR IN INTERFACES
Fire, on forest vegetation, close or within an urban area, is a
source of danger through:
• Smoke, which directly affects individuals by limiting
their vision;
• The ashes, from which secondary fires may start in the
plots with vegetation, flammable materials or even
houses;
• The flames, which can spread through vegetation,
gardens (hedges, plants, etc.) flammable materials and
even enter and affect houses;
• The evacuation of the population, due to entrapments
on the roads is the first cause of deaths in interfaces.
