The mass wasting event which will later devastate the same fire-affected areas is called Mudflows
Why do mudflows happen?
Mudflows occur when significant amounts of water collect to quickly erode soil on a steep slope. Mudslides happen when a lot of water builds up and quickly erodes the soil on a steep slope. As a result of heavy rain, for example, water seeps into the soil and separates the soil grains.
A muddy substance's starting point for flow is influenced by its particle size, water content, and topographical slope. In contrast to coarse sediment or a debris flow, shallower flows can transport fine-grained particles like mud or sand. A mud flow can start more easily when there is more water present (more precipitation or overland flow).
Coarser material may be swept up by a mud flow after it forms. Finer sediment and water that pools up behind the flowing front of the coarse-grained mudflow push the coarser silt that was taken up by the flow and often forms the front of a mudflow surge.
