Which risk increases during the siege of a wooden rope suspension bridge within a Viking-era fortification?

💡 Explanation

Fire spread and structural collapse increases because the fire's rate of energy release causes pyrolysis accelerating wood combustion, weakening suspension ropes above. Therefore structural integrity is compromised, more rapidly than water or ground erosion, which are far slower mechanisms.
