In plain language
Fire behaviour that departs strongly from steady or expected spread and can include rapid acceleration, intense spotting, fire whirls, crown fire or strong plume interactions.
Why it matters
Extreme Fire Behavior is useful because it separates one specific part of wildfire behaviour, exposure, operations or evidence from nearby concepts that can otherwise be mixed together.
