Also less humid air

  Does water already in vapor form really impact fires?

    It appears humidity doesn't really impact an already burning wildfire, but lower humidity means drier fuel which makes the fire more likely to spread. Conversely, higher humidity can make a fire less likely to spread to moister fuel[1] [1]http://www.auburn.edu/academic/forestry_wildlife/fire/relative_humidity.htm http://www.auburn.edu/academic/forestry_wildlife/fire/relati...

      Peat itself is often fairly damp.
