Depends upon what kind of fuel, how much fuel, how dry the fuel is, what the weather is, how steep is the terrain, among other things.
Most fires are quite low and spread along the forest floor or in low brush. Where the lower fuels encounter a dead or down tree, the fire may "ladder" into the upper fuels (the canopy), possibly creating a much larger fire.
Fireline handbooks for fire management include safety-zone tables for forest fires that have flames up to 300 feet high.
