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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 ... 'Training has always played an important role in the Forest Service's overall management program. ... Training personnel in the control and use of fire is not an easy task; it is, in fact, one of the most difficult because classroom training generally falls…

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…

This paper contains some theoretical speculations on the possible heating effect of flame radiation in front of forest fires. Flame variables used are rate of advance, length, angle of tilt and radiant intensity. Taking a simplified case, an expression is derived for the total…

Emission data have been derived from the simulated open burning of municipal refuse, landscape refuse, and automobile components. The data confirm that disposal of refuse by open, uncontrolled burning invariably leads to higher emissions than incineration and creates an…

A method for testing the effectiveness of fire-retardant chemicals on woody fuels has been developed. The test involves the use of a preconstructed wood crib, one-half of which is treated with a fire retardant. The speed with flames pass through the treated portion of the crib…

With the adoption of the National Fire Danger Rating System in Alaska, the entire State now has a common method of rating forest fire danger for all proctection agencies. Uniformity such as this was one of the primary reasons for the development of a national system. Compared…

It is suggested that the melanism found in the arctic ground squirrel is due to the darker individuals being favored when burnt-over areas are invaded.
