The figure shows two diagrams. Diagram (a) shows a line of six trees on a flat substrate. The front-most tree is engulfed in fire and the flame and heat plume is directed upward at 90° to the substrate. Diagram (b) shows the same line of trees but this time located on the slope of a hill. The flame and heat plume travels up the slope at 45° to the substrate.
