Abstract

We study generalizations of the forest fire model introduced in [4] and [10] by allowing the rates at which the trees grow to depend on their location, introducing long-range burning, as well as a continuous-space generalization of the model. We establish that in all the models in consideration the expected time required to reach a site at distance x from the origin is of order $(\!\log x)^{(\!\log 2)^{-1}+\delta}$ for any $\delta>0$ .
