Fires in forests spread slowly to moderately quickly with flames of 1-3 feet.
Crowns of trees with branches close to the ground may ignite (torching) but fires rarely spread far in the tree crowns.
Fires in dry grass spread moderately quickly to quickly with flames up to 2 times the height of the grass, especially if conditions are windy. Some shrubs within the grass burn readily.
Embers from the fires may start additional fires (spotting) a short distance from the main fire.
Unattended campfires may begin to creep away from the fire ring or fire pit.
