Fire Weather and Fire Behavior at the 1968 Canyon Fire
In the 1968 Canyon Fire in southern California, a fire flareup fatally burned seven Los Angeles firefighters and their foreman. A fire whirl that triggered the flareup appeared to have been caused by a sudden local increase in wind speed--or other disturbance in the airflow. A situation conducive to sudden flareups was produced by fluctuating winds combined with unstable atmospheric conditions and a high fire danger index. (Author)
