Could you simplify this problem to just two binary images of "grass" and "fire"? Taking a simple 1x3 array, with fire:
0 1 0
and grass:
1 0 0
dilate the fire to get:
1 1 1
remove the original fire:
1 0 1
find the overlap of the new potential fire with grass to get the new fire:
1 0 0
and remove the new fire from the original grass to get:
0 0 0
If this describes your situation, using imdilate and logical operators should get you what you need.
