However, it does not include a tip-over shutoff or overheat protection.SafetyFree-standing electric fireplaces are among of the safest forms of supplemental heat available to homeowners. They don't release carbon dioxide or ignite flammable materials such as wood-burning stoves. They also don't release harmful fumes or dust which can cause respiratory problems in people with chronic illnesses such as lung bronchitis, heart disease, or.Electric fireplaces also remove the need for regular maintenance and cleaning, as there is no burning of wood or fuel or the resulting smoke and ash. They do not produce harmful byproducts from combustion, such as soot or creosote, which can be an hazard to your home.Free-standing electric fire places employ "flame effects" instead of a real flame to create the illusion of a flame. This method uses mirrors and LED lights to create motion and an appearance that is realistic. Some models also contain water vapor to simulate the look of smoke.Certain models come with controls that can be knobs or buttons. Some models, like "smart" ones, can be controlled via an app on your smartphone or via voice commands. Some models even have an remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the distance.Electric fireplaces are generally safe. However it is essential to follow the safety guidelines when using any heater in your home. Keep these units away from any flammable objects like curtains, blankets, and rugs.

You can choose from a wide range of styles, including colored or clear pebbles, coal and log effects, and different colours. There are models with remote controls so that you can turn on your fire at the touch of one button.Wildland fuel characteristics are extremely fluctuating over time and across space, and can affect fire behavior and impacts. A national fuels mapping system, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS), was designed to capture these complex aspects. FCCS reference fuelbeds were compiled from published literature, fuels photos series, and other data sets. They are loaded into LANDFIRE's Fuels and Fire Tools application (FFT).FCCS fuel models are organized into six categories: canopy, shrubs, woody fuels nonwoody fuels and litter-lichen-moss. For each of these categories the model identifies several qualitative and quantitative parameters that describe the fire's capacity to spread across the fuel bed.For instance, the FB10 fuel model depicts a stand of mixed live wood and herbaceous understory fuels that have a low amount of dead vegetation, primarily 3-inch or greater limbwood. Crown fire and spotting are typical in this type of fuel and differs from a fluid transfer of herbaceous load between dead and live herbaceous fuels, to a more steady transfer of dead fine fuels between shrubs, grass and litter. Spread rate is low to moderate and the length of the flame is moderate.The Rothermel fuel structure model is widely employed in the field of operational fire modeling to predict spread rates under quiet (no wind or slope) conditions. However, the model frequently underestimates the spread rate in fuel beds compressed. It requires further study to better understand the connection between the structure of the fuel and flame propagation. This is a crucial step, since the Rothermel model's numerator (energy released from unburned fuel) and denominator(fuel bed surface area), are strongly related to the spread of fire. This is an important insight that can improve the performance of the model.
