 The term //dead man zone// was coined by members of the CSIRO research team in Australia who were investigating the spread of bushfires (Project Vesta).
-The **dead man zone** is defined as the area directly around a bushfire that is likely to burn within five minutes given the current wind conditions or an anticipated change in wind direction. The distance this zone extends from the firefront is highly dependent on terrain, windspeed, fuel type and composition, relative humidity and ambient temperature, and can range from under 100 m to well over 1 km.
