Abstract: The article deals with slope angle influence on fire spread rate. The research is based on Grishin's fire spread model [belotserkovskaya:Grishin1992]. Modeling results are compared with known values from Dorrer's [belotserkovskaya:Dorrer], Rothermel's [belotserkovskaya:Rothermel] models and slope fire modeling experiments. The slope fire spread dependence is estimated.

Keywords: forest fire, wildland forest fire modeling.
