Abstract
The objective of this study is to determine and document fire behaviour in pine stands with severe mortality due to the Mountain Pine Beetle. Specifically, we aim to evaluate the differences in (1) crown fire ignition and (2) crown fire rates of spread between (a) green trees and green-attack trees and (b) green trees and red-attack trees.
