AbstractIgnition probability and early spotfire growth are critical to the impact of given levels of firebrand generation and transport. There is little information on fuelbed ignition probability and early spotfire growth for firebrand and fuelbed combinations relevant to Australia, especially for conditions of Very High to Extreme Fire Danger during which the hazard and potential losses caused by spotting are greatest. Hence, there is a need to further investigate these processes.
