The devastating effects of wildfires on the wildlife and their impact on human lives and properties are undeniable. This shows the importance of studying the spread of wildfire, predicting its behavior and presenting more reliable models for its propagation. Here, by using the validity of the Huygens` envelope principle for wavefronts in Randers spaces, we present some models for the propagation of wildfire in an n-dimensional smooth manifold under the presence of wind. In the models, trajectories of fire particles are tracked and the equations that give the wavefront at each time are provided. Furthermore, we determine the paths and points of great importance in the process of wildfire management, called strategic paths and points. Finally, we consider two examples of spreading the wildfire in some agricultural land or woodland, for the sake of illustration. |
