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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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:'This paper desribes two generalized decision models that partically characterize decision processes for the evaluation and execution of prescribed fires. Although the two models do not incorporate all the factors managers must consider in planning for prescribed…

The study quantified differences between fire-retarding abilities of monoammonium phosphate samples from five different sources. Ponderosa pine needles and aspen excelsior fuel beds were spray-treated with different levels of chemical solutions, dried, and burned under…

From the text... 'The final conclusion was, then that for the type of slash studied there is no need to adjust the slash hazard index for exposure through that part of the fire season when wildfires are more likely to occur but, if the ratings are to be used as guides in fall…

This paper reviews the unique aerial ignition device developed originally in Australia and the chronological work in Canada that eventually produced the Aerial Ignition Device and the Helitorch. It is of interest to note that the project has gone full circle in that Australia…

The analysis of alternative fire management programs should be integrated into the land and resource management planning process, but a single fire management analysis model cannot meet all planning needs. Therefore, a set of simulation models that are analytically separate from…

This paper presents a system for locating lightning strikes and predicting the number of fire ignitions on forests and rangelands. This system uses variables representing weather and fuels and real-time lightning locations as inputs. Outputs from the system consist of printouts…

A large region of central and western Canada experienced a particularly severe forest fire season during 1980 in terms of the number of fire starts, area burned, and suppression expenditures. In Alberta, most of the fire occurred during April and May in the northern half of the…
