"Burning Index (BI) is a number used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to describe the potential amount of effort needed to contain a single fire in a particular fuel type within a rating area. The National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) uses a modified version of Bryam's equation for flame length \u2013 based on the Spread Component (SC) and the available energy (ERC) \u2013 to calculate flame length from which the Burning Index is computed. The equation for flame length is listed below: where: j is a scaling factor,SC is the ,and ERC is the Energy Release Component."@en . . . . .

The equation for flame length is listed below: where: j is a scaling factor,SC is the ,and ERC is the Energy Release Component. Consequently, the equation for the Burning Index is: where is the Burning Index scaling factor of (10/ft). Therefore, dividing the Burning Index by 10 produces a reasonable estimate of the flame length at the head of a fire. A unique Burning Index (BI) table is required for each fuel model."@en . . .
