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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

An interesting collection of reports of large fires in the Tanana Flats in 1941-1942. Parts of the 1941 fires over-wintered and reappeared in spring 1942—an early record of this phenomenon which sparked a Research Brief in 2020: https://akfireconsortium.files.wordpress.com/2020…

From the text...'As part of a general forest-fire-research program in recent years, considerable inquiry has been made into the visibility of smoke from forest fires in an attempt to answer the questions: How far can a lookout see a smoke? What are the factors upon which this…

From the summary ... 'This paper describes a simple model which can be used to investigate the transport of water vapour by thermal plumes in the atmosphere. For an approximate treatment of these plumes, it is assumed (as in a previous paper) that the vertical velocity,…

This research ws conducted to determine how forest-fire behavior and its controlling variables differ between altitudes throughout the day on north and south slopes. Observations were made at eight stations, six of them paired on north and south aspects of 5,500-, 3,800-, and 2,…

Experienced fire control men who have used the water rake believe it is a practicable and worthwhile water-saving device. It is recommended for use where water is scarce and in deep duff where water penetration is slow. One water rake is recommended for each tanker unit in areas…

A complete study of ionization in flames involves solution of the problems: (1) identification of the ions (as yet nothing definite is known about their nature); (2) evaluation of the ion concentration (even now there is still some disagreement concerning the exact amount of…
