EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT EXERTED BY A NATURAL FIRE ON WOOD MATERIAL

An experimental investigation of ignition of a wood material under the action of the forest fi re front has been carried out in a laboratory to determine the conditions of ignition and combustion. The surface temperatures of samples were measured by means of thermocouples. The dependences have been derived showing the change of the surface temperature of samples exposed to the ground fi re front.
