Wildland fires and wildland urban-interface (WUI) fires have become a significant problem in recent years. The mechanisms of home ignition in WUI fires are direct flame contact, thermal radiation, and firebrand attack. Out of these three fire spread factors, firebrands are considered to be a main driving force for rapid fire spread as firebrands can fly far from the fire front and ignite structures. The limited experimental data on firebrand showers limits the ability to design the next generation of communities to resist WUI fires to these types of exposures. The objective of this paper is to summarize, compare, and reconsider the results from previous experiments, to provide new data and insights to prevent home losses from firebrands in WUI fires. Comparison of different combustible materials around homes revealed that wood decking assemblies may be ignited within similar time to mulch under certain conditions.

In a decision problem with uncertainty a decision maker receives partial information about the actual state via an information structure. After receiving a signal, he is allowed to withdraw and gets zero profit. We say that one structure is better than another when a withdrawal option exists if it may never happen that one structure guarantees a positive profit while the other structure guarantees only zero profit. This order between information structures is characterized in terms that are different from those used by Blackwell's comparison of experiments. We also treat the case of a malevolent nature that chooses a state in an adverse manner. It turns out that Blackwell's classical characterization also holds in this case.

The weighted distributions are used when the sampling mechanism records observations according to a nonnegative weight function. Sometimes the form of the weighted distribution is the same as the original distribution except possibly for a change in the parameters that is called the form-invariant weighted distribution. In this paper, by identifying a general class of weight functions, we introduce an extended class of form-invariant weighted distributions belonging to the non-regular exponential family which included two common families of distribution: exponential family and non-regular family as special cases. Some properties of this class of distributions such as the sufficient and minimal sufficient statistics, maximum likelihood estimation and the Fisher information matrix are studied.
