What if we could model the chemistry of wildfire down to the molecule—and stop it before it spreads? Nigerian wildfire researcher Abraham Zhiri joins Steve Wolf from Cambridge University to explore how fluid dynamics, heat equations, and detonation models are reshaping how we understand and suppress fire. Abraham shares his journey from the forests of Nigeria to a lab in the UK, where he's modeling the fine line between ignition and containment. Together, they unpack the fire triangle, the role of moisture, the surprising power of animal firebrands, and why removing heat might be our best suppression strategy. This episode dives deep into the science of wildfire—and offers a hopeful look at the math behind better outcomes.
