English

Subject field(s)
  • Brush, Prairie and Forest Fires
DEF

A fire that burns the organic material in the soil layer (e.g. a "peat fire") and often also the surface litter and small vegetation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Incendies de végétation
DEF

Feu consumant la litière de la forêt, l'horizon du sol F et H constitués de tourbe, de racines et autres matières fibreuses ou humiques.

CONT

Les feux de profondeur peuvent couver longtemps sous la surface du sol, à l'abri des précipitations. Leur bordure est très difficile à localiser, même s'ils dégagent beaucoup de chaleur, car il est fréquent que la combustion subsiste sans qu'il soit possible d'observer le moindre dégagement de flammes ou de fumée.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Incendio de la vegetación
DEF

Fuego que consume la materia orgánica bajo el suelo.
