| quote | Results from the FARSITE simulations indicate the greatest average flame length and fire-line intensity for the shrub-dominated sites and the lowest for the oak woodlands. The highest rate of spread was found for the grass-dominated landscapes and the lowest for the forested landscapes [in the San Francisco Bay Area]. |
