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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A computer program for processing historic fire weather data for the National Fire-Danger Rating System

Furman, Helfman
FIRDAT is a FORTRAN IV program to compute the daily components and indexes of the National Fire-Danger Rating System. FIRDAT will also compute and print the absolute, relative and cumulative frequencies of occurrence, and print a cumulative frequency distribution for each of the…

Fire in the national parks symposium

Hendrickson
From the text ... 'We do not today countenance or use fire everywhere in the national park system....The National Park Service has the obligation to continue to seek to inform the American people on the significance of fire.' © 1972, Tall Timbers Research, Inc. Abstract…

Prediction of prepyrolysis temperature rise in dead forest fuels

Fosberg
The heat transfer rate to forest fuels ahead of a flaming fire front is highly variable over the interval of time required to preheat the fuels. An analytical function was derived which permitted inclusion of this varying transfer rate in the calculation of temperature rise for…

A stochastic model for the occurrence of man-caused forest fires

Cunningham, Martell
This paper discusses the occurrence of man-caused forest fires during the summer fire season in a section of northwestern Ontario. Fire occurrence is viewed as being a chance process and a stochastic model is developed to describe it. The results of this study indicate that a…

Using the effective heating number as a weighting factor in Rothermel's fire spread model

Frandsen
An inconsistency arises in Rothermel's fire spread model when there are two or more categories. If a fuel load is split into identical classes in two separate categories, the reaction intensity is less than if the load is contained in a single class in one category. The author…
