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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Predicted residues and fire behavior in small-stem lodgepole pine stands

Brown, Johnston
Fuel loading, fireline intensity, and expected fire size were determined after harvesting small-stem lodgepole pine stands. Curves relating predicted fireline intensity to slash fuel loading and windspeed are presented. Removing about 15 tons per acre of residues reduced…

The use of 'thermocolor' pyrometers in the study of heath fire behaviour

Hobbs, Currall, Gimingham
From the Summary ... '(1) The use of heat-sensitive materials to study temperatures in vegetation fires is reviewed. (2) A pyrometer using 'Thermocolor* paints on mica strips is described and a calibration is given for heath fire conditions. (3) A method of data presentation is…

Forest fire research in the Canadian Forestry Service

Van Wagner
From the Conclusion: 'The ultimate justification for conducting research on forest fire is a) that it is a complex natural phenomenon with both physical and biological dimensions, b) that it can only be described and understood through scientific investigation, c) that it…
