Ignition process of vegetation from a cylindrical flame radiation is examined using Koo and Pagni [1] model. The radiation flux is power-law decreasing with distance [2], while the ignition time increases exponentially. This last behavior yields a characteristic length of fuel ignition from a flame, inducing a percolation type phase transition.
