N2  - An experimental burning program was carried out in Tasmanian buttongrass moorlands to develop fire behaviour prediction models for improving fire management. A range of previously developed prediction models were examined, but none provided adequate fire behaviour predictions. Empirical models were then developed to predict rate of fire spread and flame height in flat terrain, using the variables site age, dead fuel moisture content and surface wind speed. The models should provide good predictions for low to moderate intensity fires and adequate predictions for high intensity wildfires.
