Abstract
A sample-data survey was carried out to determent the densities of occurrence and critical ignition energies of exterior and interior fuel arrays in 11 land use classes in the city of Alburquerque, New Mexico. A complementary study was carried out to investigate the feasibility of using aerial photographic methods to estimate exposures of fuel arrays to a thermal pulse.
