Abstract
The model presented, for the first time, in this paper can predict the spreading of fire in both homogeneous and inhomogeneous forests and can easily incorporate weather conditions and land topography. An algorithm has been constructed based on the proposed model and was used for the determination of fire fronts in a number of hypothetical forests, which were found to be in good agreement with the experience on fire spreading in real forests.
