Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A continuous crown fire is a type of wildfire that travels from treetop to treetop, consuming most of the trees' canopies. It is also known as a "total crown fire" and is the most severe type of crown fire. An intermittent crown fire burns the tops of some trees and then moves to the lower part of the stand. A ground fire burns on or below the forest floor. A surface fire burns low vegetation and leaf litter on the forest floor. There is no commonly used term for a "tree top fire."
