- W2740133790 abstract "zone in relation to wildfires has been defined in many ways. Some definitions have been tailored for particular applications. There is no consistent way of defining the or demarcating it on the ground. Current definitions are based more on the ease of application rather than the likely penetration of a wildfire into a residential area. There is a need to have a more consistent and relevant definition of the zone for planning, warnings and regulations. reality is that the zone at a particular location will vary depending on the weather, fuel, scale of fire and terrain at any one time so these factors should be included in defining the zone. zone has been referred to in several different ways: it has been called the I-Zone, Wildland-Urban (WUI), Rural-Urban Urban-Interface, Chaparral-Urban Interface (Radtke, 1983) and possibly others. These names themselves contribute to a level of confusion when talking about exposure to wildfire. Interestingly, all the names are euphemisms for what is really of interest - the with wildfire. term interface implies a zone where residential areas and wildfires will mix. extent of the wildfire is therefore the extent to which a wildfire can penetrate a residential area before it either self-extinguishes or transitions into an urban fire where the progression becomes dominated by structure-to-structure ignition rather than via wildland fuels. It therefore follows that the majority of house loss caused by wildfires would occur in what we propose should be called the (WIZ). Dynamic wildfire characterization simulators such as PHOENIX RapidFire (Tolhurst et al., 2008) have provided a means for defining the Wildfire Interface, taking into account potential fire size, intensity and ember density. PHOENIX RapidFire takes into account the spatial and temporal distribution of fuels, fire, weather, terrain, ignition time and location and modifications to fuels caused by recent fires or other fuel modification works and disruptions to fuels caused by roads, rivers, fuelbreaks, and other linear fuel-free areas. Some preliminary analyses have shown that it is not just the fuel within some set distance (e.g. 40 m, 100 m) of a residential area that affects the probability of house loss by wildfire, but a combination of all the factors that contribute to wildfire behaviour. PHOENIX RapidFire can be used to define the Wildfire Zones based on local fuels, terrain and climate. We therefore propose a new definition of the Wildfire Zone be adopted to replace the concept of WUI: The area where dwellings, or flammable material in contact with dwellings, have the potential to be ignited by exposure to any combination of flame, radiation, embers, firebrands or hot gases from a wildfire. It does not include areas only exposed to smoke, ash or charred material from a wildfire. extent of the actual Wildfire Zone will depend on the nature of the fuels, weather, topography, seasonal conditions and scale of wildfires in that geographic location at a given point in time, but for planning purposes the extent of the potential Wildfire Zone can be determined for a stated set of conditions." @default.
