Or perhaps something already of fire could be dragged through the woods causing the conflaguration. A strong gust of wind could spread a fire very quickly if the conditions are right.zingerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695447131235333584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36498913.post-969617954945322042008-05-28T19:08:00.000-04:002008-05-28T19:08:00.000-04:00this site looks really helpful:http://www.borealfo...this site looks really helpful:<BR/><BR/>http://www.borealforest.org/world/innova/forest_fire.htm<BR/><BR/>Also, this paragraph:<BR/><BR/>"Forest fires can also be classified by what part of the forest they burn in:<BR/><BR/> * Ground fires occur on the ground, often below the leaves.<BR/> * Surface Fires occur on the surface of the forest up to 1.3 meters high.<BR/> * Crown fires are the most dangerous fires and can spread the fastest. They occur in the tops of the trees. They can be: (a) dependent upon surface fires to burn the crowns, (b) active in which they occur at the same rate as surface fires, or (c) the most destructive, independent, where fire can "jump" from crown to crown."<BR/><BR/>and it adds there can be more than one kind of fire burning at the timeorangehandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359138019200145256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36498913.post-42971253686271959132008-05-28T16:38:00.000-04:002008-05-28T16:38:00.000-04:00You know, almost anything would work, depending on...You know, almost anything would work, depending on the timing and placement. Wild fires have been started from a single match. <BR/><BR/>And lightening doesn't have to mean magic. Would a rumble of thunder fit the scene? Or you could introduce a flame thrower if you need it to be deliberate. Or a welding torch?McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437136297944260051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36498913.post-72119981602787101622008-05-28T16:33:00.000-04:002008-05-28T16:33:00.000-04:00Well if he/she is an arsonist, but matches and gas...Well if he/she is an arsonist, but matches and gas can't be employed, and magic can't be employed either, the only thing I can think of is the old-fashioned Boy Scouts trick of rubbing two sticks together. And that takes too long. BUT, if it is done far enough away from the fight, the fire is already raging and eating up the acres before anyone really notices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36498913.post-81004674604524752312008-05-28T15:16:00.000-04:002008-05-28T15:16:00.000-04:00I'm thinking lightening strike.

I should think it would spread along the tree tops pretty fast, darned near instantly.McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437136297944260051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36498913.post-90187172108957840592008-05-28T12:40:00.000-04:002008-05-28T12:40:00.000-04:00Not knowing about the scene, I'll just throw some ...Not knowing about the scene, I'll just throw some stuff out:<BR/>Lightning (either natural or through scorcery)?<BR/>Fire-breathing dragons?<BR/>Candles from a previous event (YEX, seances, etc.) knocked over?<BR/>Torches used to find way through dark forest?<BR/>Spark from a muffler or something dragging from a vehicle igniting the dry undergrowth caused by drought?<BR/>Campfire they thought they put out but not so much?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
