	abstract = {<p>The lofting of firebrands from bushfires into a background atmospheric flow can lead to spotting downwind\&nbsp;of the fire front. Spotting is a hazardous phenomenon because it leads to both unpredictable\&nbsp;and accelerated fire spread, as winds aloft are often in a different direction from and faster than the\&nbsp;near-surface winds. Here we use a two-stage modelling process to address some of the uncertainty\&nbsp;associated with spotting, by quantifying the lateral and longitudinal spread in the landing location of\&nbsp;potential firebrands and how this spread is affected by the dynamics of the fire plume.</p>},
