Abstract

We consider a generalization of the forest fire model on $\mathbb{Z}_+$ with ignition at zero only, studied by Volkov (2009 ALEA 6, 399–414). Unlike that model, we allow delays in the spread of the fires and the non-zero burning time of individual ‘trees’. We obtain some general properties for this model, which cover, among others, the phenomenon of an ‘infinite fire’, not present in the original model.
