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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

College curriculums in fire management are not producing people who are qualified to do a total fire management job for hiring fire agencies. Most schools are offering only 2-3 credits in fire that are poorly taught and often downgraded in value by the faculty. This creates an…

Reports promising results of trials in 1969-71 on the use of cloud 'seeding' to increase rainfall up-wind of active forest fires [cf. FA 34, 2932]. Of 18 missions flown, 'non-seedable' conditions were observed near the target fire on 6 occasions. Of the other 12 missions, 2…
