The fire screens act on the three ways of conveying heat: radiation, convection and conduction. They prevent the radiating heat and the hot gases and flames from passing through, and keep the vegetation protected surrounded in a mass of cold air, at practically ambient temperature.
The screens are above all reflectors of radiant heat, stopping heat being transmitted by radiation. They are also impermeable to hot gases and flames, so they also stop heat being transmitted by convection. Moreover, the cold air protected by the screen isolates against conduction. Overall, the transmission of heat is prevented and the fire does not advance.
The hot gases rise by convection, producing a depression which sucks cold air from the protected area, leading to a phenomenon of suction which helps to control the fire: currents of cold air are generated and pass from the cold area to the hot area, both at the top of the screen and at the bottom where it is in contact with mineral soil.
THE SCREEN IS A BARRIER TO HEAT, IMITATING A WALL WHEN A FIRE FRONT COMES UP AGAINST IT, OR TO CONTAIN A CONTROLLED OR BACKBURN.
