Fig. 7

Photo showing fire severity outcomes for one untreated Control unit (to the left of the road) and one adjacent Thin-P-fire unit (to the right of the road). Besides reduction in severity due to lower surface and canopy fuel loads, slower fire spread rate likely also resulted in a change in fire spread direction, from a head fire in the control to a flanking fire in the treated area. Additional photos of representative treatment outcomes are in Additional file 1: Figure S2
