5 mins confidence: 
(fire) evolution Explanation: De la refrencia mas abajo: Satellite monitoring can also provide information on the evolution of fires as they develop. Fire evolution for 1995 in the Northwest Territories is displayed in Figure 4. Each colour represents a 10 day period of active fire in that location.

10 mins confidence:
how a fire (will?) spread/develop // to study fire paths/patterns Explanation: Hi Liz, A bit confusing, since they refer to real-time monitoring but then they refer to fires in plural, so it's not clear whether the second sentence means that it would be useful to fight the actual fire that's being monitored or to predict the paths of future fires. Can you find anything else in the context that might give further clues? |
