Abstract
Based on the model, we demonstrate that fire spread in cities consisting of non-flammable buildings is highly sensitive to the structure of urban vegetation within the immediate surroundings of each building and investigate the effects of vegetation management policies on fire spread mitigation. We discuss the use of the model for establishing the procedures of firefighters' response during routine and multiple ignition scenarios.
