Abstract We show that the roughening of fire fronts in slow combustion of paper [7] follows the scaling predictions of the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation with thermal noise. By improved experimental accuracy it is now possible to observe the short-time and short-range correlations of the interfaces. These do not adhere to any standard picture, and in particular, do not seem to be related to any of the existing models of front propagation in the presence of quenched disorder.
