The fire point of a fuel is the temperature at which it will continue to burn after ignition for at least 5 seconds. At the flash point, a lower temperature, a substance will ignite, but vapor might not be produced at a rate to sustain the fire. Fire point and autogenous ignition are additional considerations when selecting fire resistant greases. Industrially, fire point is the lowest temperature at which industrial greases produce sufficient vapors to form a mixture in air that continuously supports combustion after ignition.

The initial point of the hand line was approximately seven feet from the fire’s edge; as the hand line progressed, the distance from the edge of the fire widened to approximately 30 feet.
In this case, the slope was steep and, therefore, the fire was burning upslope and up-canyon; the influence of the wind and slope caused it to vector across the slope.
In this case, the strategy initially was to anchor the fire from the road downslope to the river, approximately 260 feet.
