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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Fire research resource sharing: the Canada/U.S. cooperative mass fire behavior and environmental impact study

Stocks
The expanding use of prescribed fire to achieve North American land management objectives has led, in recent years, to the increased use of helicopter-ignition, large-scale controlled burns. These mass-ignition convection burns often generate extremely intense and erratic fire…

Backfiring and burnout techniques used in the Yukon, 1972

Lait, Taylor
Describes the application, in the boreal forest, of Australian methods of counter-firing by incendiary capsules dropped from helicopters [cf. FA 32, 945]. A prototype machine was developed for the priming and release of the capsules, since these operations are slow and awkward…
