Surface fire with torching and spotting.
Fire is burning in litter on top of the ground, but occasionally carries into the crowns of individual trees,
which produces burning embers that start new fires outside the fire perimeter.
Ground fire with smoldering and flare ups.
Fire begins burning into the crowns and spreads through the canopy. There is a sudden increase in
