Abstract: The objective of this study is to develop a mathematical model for calculating the initiation and spresd of fire resulting from an attack on an urban area, and to apply the model for predicting the fire-depentdent fire damage to an assumed city. The numerical test is obtained valuable information by using the parameters of fire spread from Japanese Hiroshima.The model to be developed is included——to determine description for a simplified urban,to take account of fire spread by radiation and firebrands in terms of statistical data, and to develop a computer program to perform the numerical simulation.

Key words: fire-spread, radiation, firebrand
