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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Using motion pictures for data collection on prescribed burning experiments

Pickford, Sandberg
A simple, inexpensive, and relatively accurate photographic method for date collection is described. Objects of interest are triangulated from films taken simultaneously at two camera positions. Accumulated synchronization and measurement errors amounted to 0.2 - 0.5 meter. The…

The temperatures of surface fires in jack pine barren. II. The effects of vegetation cover, wind speed, and relative humidity on fire temperatures

Sparling, Smith
The temperature of 18 fires in an open jack pine barren near Timmins, Ontario, have been recorded. The maximum temperature recorded was 545 degrees C, although in other determinations fire temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees C were reached. The mean temperatures of all fires…

Prescribed burning techniques for site preparation in cut-over jack pine in southeastern Manitoba

Adams
The results of controlled burning on cut-over jack pine sites in southeastern Manitoba can be summarized as follows: (1) The fire hazard resulting from jack pine slash was eliminated on all the areas burned. (2) On most areas a good proportion of the organic material was removed…

A broadcast burn in second-growth clearcuttings in the north central Sierra Nevada

McDonald, Schimke
The the Challenge Experimental Forest, 29 acres of slash were broadcast burned on five small clearcut plots (2 to 10 acres) at a cost of $57.00 per acre. Fuel-weight measurements showed reductions of 68 to 84% after the burn. Modifications to plot size, shape, and orientation…

Synoptic study of the meteorological conditions associated with extreme wildland fire behavior

Brotak, Reifsnyder
Fifty-two major wildland fires in the eastern half of the United States were analyzed to determine the synoptic situations involved. At the surface, 3/4 of the fires were found near frontal areas. The vast majority of fires were associated with the eastern portion of small…

Slash-burning research: fire control and reforestation

Williams
From the text...'A fire-control problem of major proportions in B.C., as in many other areas, results from hazardous accumulations of logging slash. The basic question is whether it is wiser to give cut-over areas added protection and tolerate the increased hazards introduced by…
