-A fireball is caused by a sudden, violent rupture of a container containing volatile liquids or gases, typically under high pressure. Figure~\ref{Fireball_Diameter_Scatterplot} summarizes comparisons of the measured and predicted maximum horizontal fireball diameter of several sets of experiments.
+A fireball is caused by a sudden, violent rupture of a container containing volatile liquids or gases, typically under high pressure. Figure~\ref{Fireball_Diameter_Scatterplot} summarizes comparisons of the measured and predicted maximum horizontal fireball diameter of several sets of experiments. Figure~\ref{Fireball_Height_Scatterplot} summarizes comparisons of the measured and predicted fireball heights; that is, the height of the fireball at the time of maximum diameter.
