This paper presents a mathematical formulation of the construction 

 of a containment perimeter for a wildland fire. The formulation permits 

 the calculation of total burned area, final perimeter, and containment 

 time, if the rate of growth of the fire can be specified as a function of time 

 and position. 



KEYWORDS: forest fire control, fire behavior model, fire management, 

 computer programs.
