The Chilcoot and Ridge fires have been burning in a mosaic pattern, but what does this mean? Usually a wildfire does not consume everything within its perimeter. Depending on slope, vegetation type, and fire behavior there are usually pockets of green trees and unburned fuel within the fire perimeter. Even where the fire does burn there is mixed severity where trees torch in some area and other areas where the fire stays on ground burning ground vegetation. This results in a mosaic looking pattern on the landscape with areas that burned at different severities and some areas not burned at all.
