High fireline intensities can trigger fire-atmosphere interaction, producing more extreme and often unexpected fire behavior. These fire-line intensities have been enhanced in recent decades by the increase in fuel load (Di Virgilio et al., 2019;Ruffault et al., 2018;Turco et al., 2018) after changes in landscape management (Pyne, 2019) and by climate change-driven aridity (Abatzoglou et al., 2019). The resulting extreme wildfires are overwhelming fire service operational capacity and becoming a new normal (Jolly et al., 2015), even with reinforced efforts and advanced technologies. The increase in extreme wildfires has had an impact on a global scale, resulting in dramatic consequences in terms of human lives: 173 deaths in Australia in 2009; 110 deaths between June and
