Fuels are one of three main components which drive wildfires. The other two are terrain and weather. Fuels can be split up into two classes or components: live and dead. An example of live fuels is shown in photo below and to the left with green shrubs and grasses evident in the landscape near San Ysidro. The dead component is illustrated in the photo below and to the right showing an example of a “jungle” of dead sticks that rats pile up and live in.
