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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

In the United States, prescribed burning of wildlands is practiced on over 2 million hectares of land each year. Based on our survey conducted in 1989, approximately 70, 20, and 10% of this burning occurs in the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and Rocky Mountain regions,…

Prescribed burning is a preferred treatment in many fuel management situations because of its low cost, campatibility with other land-use objectives, and little or not undesirable side effects. The problems, limitations, and associated consequences of fire treatments are…

Animal exposure studied and large scale fire data indicate that one of the early life hazards in a developing fire is from the generation of carbon monoxide and other combustion gases. A gas chromatograph as been interfaced to an NBS Smoke Chamber to study the rate of generation…

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…
