In plain language
An increase in fire-front rate of spread over time as the fire responds to ignition geometry or changing fuels, weather or terrain.

Fire Acceleration is useful because it separates one specific part of wildfire behaviour, exposure, operations or evidence from nearby concepts that can otherwise be mixed together.
