Abstract
An extension of the simple ellipse model of a vegetation fire is prese nted. This facilitates numerical implementation, and can therefore inc orporate irregular topographical features and temporal changes in burn ing conditions. The model has been encoded into an interactive PC prog ram which gives a visual simulation of the spread of a fire on a graph ics screen. The model has considerable potential for fire management.
