Ignition and flame spread covers the onset of burning and the processes by which fire extends to additional fuel or surfaces. Articles address ignition, ignition sources, autoignition, self-heating and the conditions associated with sustained combustion.
The category includes flame spread in different directions, fire spread between buildings and transitions from smouldering to flaming. It also covers quantities used in ignition assessment, such as time to ignition and critical heat flux. Together, these topics link fuel properties and heat exposure with the early development and subsequent spread of fire.
