We found that Hoffman et al. [[1]], misinterpreted the assumptions we used in developing the [[5]] wildfire data set regarding the main drivers of crown fire propagation (i.e. wind speed, fine dead fuel moisture content, canopy fuel characteristics). Hoffman et al. [[1], p. 228] indicated that the estimated fine fuel moisture (EFFM) values given in the AC06 data set "were estimated without knowledge of the actual conditions". It is our opinion that although the indirect analytic approach taken by Hoffman et al. [[1]] allows one to visualise some of the trends in the two physics-based models and their relation with the AC06 data set, the conclusions drawn from their results are unfounded. Hoffman et al. [[1]] suggested that the over-prediction bias observed when comparing the simulated data set with the model fit based on the AC06 data set given in Fig. [Extracted from the article]
