The Alaska Reference Database originated as the standalone Alaska Fire Effects Reference Database, a ProCite reference database maintained by former BLM-Alaska Fire Service Fire Ecologist Randi Jandt. It was expanded under a Joint Fire Science Program grant for the FIREHouse project (The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse). It is now maintained by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and FRAMES, and is hosted through the FRAMES Resource Catalog. The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the text ... 'The historic records from around the world leave no room to doubt that primitive hunting and gathering peoples, as well as ancient farmers and herders, for a number of reasons, frequently and intentionally set fire to almost all the vegetation around them…

The elements of a theory for the process of free spread of fire through brush are presented in terms of simple stepwise processes, which are analyzed separately but joined by their common physical parameters. The stepwise processes analyzed are: (1) Preheating (by radiation) and…

Foliar moisture content was sampled in five eastern Canadian conifers and two hardwoods during 1962-65, and seasonal trends were estabished. These were basically similar from year to year despite weather differences. The moisture content of new conifer foliage and hardwood…

In the fall of 1955 a forest fire burned approximately 12,000 acres of merchantable and young growth jack pine on the Sandilands Forest Reserve in southeastern Manitoba. A fact-finding observational study was carried out between 1956 and 1961 to determine the amount and…

The physical properties of bark are virtually uninvestigated, and the resulting lack of knowledge has relegated bark to the role of residue. Significant among these properties are thermal characteristics, which are basic to the use of bark as thermal insulation. This paper…

Problems encountered in the field of ire detection and suppression are outlined. The experimental program for the evaluation of infrared scanning devices currently in progress at the Forest Fire Laboratory is discussed. Data accumulated to date on the nature of small fires and…

Mass fires are likely to follow a nuclear attack. Since it is important to the civil defense program to be able to predict rate, duration, and extent of spread of such fires, the Office of Civil Defense, U.S. Department of Defense, issued a joint contract to the Forest Service…

Uncontrolled fires produce flames where the initial momentum of the fuel is low compared with the momentum produced by buoyancy. The heights of such flames with wood as the fuel are examined and discussed in terms of both a dimensional analysis and the entrainment of air into…

A fire whirl from a liquid-fuel pool (acetone) is formed at the center of a rotating screen which imparts a controlled angular momentum to the ambient air. Measurements show that outside of the core the fluid motion is that of a free vortex. A hot-wire method of measurement of…
