Abstract
Over the last 40 years many physical models have been developed to describe the propagation of a moving flame front in forests or grasslands. No model has been thoroughly validated at this stage. These models are surveyed (without equations) to indicate the state of the science at present and the direction in which research into more useful models is heading.Keywords
