✦ Synopsis

Four methods for the computer simulation of bushfires are compared. Three of these are grid models, based on work by Kourtz and O'Regan, Frandsen and Andrews, and Green. A fourth contour-based "Huygens" method is due to Anderson et al. Green's method is found to be the most general but to require very much more computation. The grid methods of Kourtz and O'Regan and Frandsen and Andrews execute quickly but produce severe distortion of fire shapes. The Huygens method executes quickly and produces little distortion, but has problems coping with nonhomogeneous conditions.

## Abstract The three basic modelling approaches used to explain forest fire behaviour are theoretically, laboratory or empirically based. Results of all three approaches are reviewed, but it is noted that only the laboratory‐ and empirically based models have led to forecasting techniques that are

## Abstract ## Background Bushfire fighters are potentially subject to risks from bushfire smoke. Although many different protective masks and filters are available, it is not clear which is the most effective from a health and safety perspective. The effect of protective filters on the respirator
