ground fire
A fire that consumes all organic material of the forest floor and also burns into the underlying soil itself, as, for example, a peat fire. Differentiated from a surface fire on the basis of vulnerability to wind; in a surface fire the flames are visible and burning is accelerated by wind, whereas, in a ground fire, wind is generally not a serious factor.
