Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 23: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; October, 1962
Why, in June, are some fires controlled at small size while others defy control no matter what the action taken? Why can you reach some lightning fires while they are still in the tree, vet others explode into maior fires? Why does a quiet or apparently controlled fire suddenly act up? A look at relative humidity showed day-to-day fluctuations and seemed not to be an adeouate answer to these questions. This study seems to indicate that a deadly one-two combination of an unusually warm night followed by a warm day may be the key.
