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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Variation in char density on laboratory fuels

Wilson, Brown
Residual char from 76 test burns of wood dowels showed unexpectedly wide variation in density. Variation could not be correlated with initial fuel density, burn time, nor incident windspeed.

Aids to forest fire control planning at Petawawa

Van Wagner
A series of graphs, tables and maps are presented that form the basis of a revised fire control plan at the Petawawa Forest Experiment Station. Called aids to fire control planning, they are classified into those describing: (a) the pattern of fire weather, (b) the trends in…

Energy production and temperatures in low-intensity forest fires

Van Wagner
From the introduction:'The purpose of this project is to measure the energy production of forest fires and how it is dissipated. If the use of energy output -rate is ever to become accepted as a means of describing forest fires, a simple method must be available, requiring…

A method of computing fine fuel moisture content throughout the diurnal cycle

Van Wagner
A method is presented for computing fine fuel moisture content at hourly intervals around the clock. It is derived from the standard daily Fine Fuel Moisture Code used in the Canadian system of forest fire danger rating. It produces diurnal cycles of fuel moisture content that…
