Wildland fire spot ignition by sparks and firebrands
TL;DR: In this paper, the state of the art of wildfire spotting is summarized by describing the distinct individual processes involved in the problem and by discussing their know-how status, which can be separated in several individual processes: the generation of the particles (metal or firebrand) and their thermochemical state; their flight by plume lofting and wind drag and the particle thermo-chemical change during the flight; the onset of ignition (smoldering or flaming) of the fuel after the particle lands on the fuel; and finally, the sustained ignition and burning of the combustible
