Modifications to this page[edit]

I see that over half of this page is talking about the topic of firebombing, which seems to encompasses some firestorm information. However, I feel this page does not need all of the firebombing material and that it would be better suited on the firebombing page. I also think the opening paragraph could be reworded to be more clear to all readers. There is a lot of information on the mechanics and not so much on the fuels or types of forests that these fires thrive off of. I will look into sources to provide more material on that. The weather and climate effects could also use some addition with additional sources that I will look further into.

Except that material is about firebombings that developed firestorms, not about firebombing in general. And, in those cases, the fuel is wooden houses. Rmhermen (talk) 05:53, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. That is a good point. However I'd like to suggest that the existing page on Conflagration adopts the 'firebombing' material by expanding an 'urban conflagration' section. Urban conflagrations are very different circumstance than wildland fire. I suppose this is just a definition issue for Firestorm, which is not a common term in fire science (at least not in wildland fire science.
