SECRET Spread Analysis: Spread to Kahn Binh firebreak, <strong>as</strong> scaled from five possible points of origin, showed a maximum of 6 miles in 18 days or 1760 feet per day. Calculated spread rates from the hourly burning indexes for the period 20 March through 7 April predict an average of 1960 ft. per day. Maximum rates 4.8 - 8.7 ft/min. Excellent agreement considering distance of weather station from fire (52 miles) and uncertainty of a day or two in time of arrival at firebrcak. Applying same calculation procedure to all days from 10 March through 29 April we find only 7 days during which spread rates would have exceeded one mile per day, and no days on which fire intensity would be great enough for extensive crown fires to develop.
