Abstract Mathematical modeling is used to solve two problems: optimizing the placement height of primer cord in a forest canopy to maximize the volume of displaced combustibles, and determining the effect of a reflecting screen on the effectiveness of the primer cord. Of the cord placements examined (at 0.75, 1.5, and 2.25 m), the optimum detonation height was 1.5 m. A reflecting screen increased the effectiveness of the primer cord, and more so the closer the screen was to the cord.
