Recent research shows us wildfire behavior like never before
The Denver Channel (ABC affiliate) – July 28, 2015
DENVER – Recently published research fills some gaps in our understanding of fire behavior. This research, led by research forester Mark Finney with the USDA, shows us how buoyancy, not wind, is the driving force to a spreading fire.
