Fig. 1

Example of measurement of flame properties from a fire monitoring photograph. Flame height, length, and angle are illustrated. The reference post with cross-bars at 1 and 2 m can be seen in the background. Flame angle was generally measured as the angle between the ground surface and the flame front. For our experimental managed burns on Calluna-dominated moorland in Scotland between spring 2006 and autumn 2009, this was converted to the angle off set from vertical for analytical purposes as per Taylor (1961) and Albini (1981)
