The fire starts from ignition lines with the given omidirectional ignition spread rate until a given ignition radius is reached. A single ignition point is specified as a line with both ends the same. The ignition is specified the file namelist.input. Once a node is ignited, the normal fire propagation algorithm takes over from that node. For this reason, it is best when ignition points or lines lie on mesh nodes. Otherwise, if the ignition rate of spread is low, it may take a long time for the fire to reach mesh nodes, and nodes at different but small distances from the ignition line may ignite at times that are not intended.
