Running Grass Fire

Running Grass Fire

A source of ignition in a dry vegetation environment leads to a small fire spreading across a limited landscape. Sometimes this is the natural cycle of nature, a lightning fire thinning the fuels. Other times it is the carelessness of humans causing a fire with potential for great damage. In this image the lighter fuels, grasses (known to firefighters as ‘one hour fuels’) are carrying the fire to heavier vegetation.
