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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Heat - its role in wildland fire, part 5: radiation and wildland fire (blue cover)

Countryman
Before a wildland fire can start, heat must be transferred from a firebrand to the fuel. Then heat must be transferred from the fuel surface to deeper layers if the fire is to continue to burn. Finally, heat must be transferred to surrounding unburned fuel if the fire is to…

Forest fire retardant research - a status report

George, Blakely, Johnson
Forest fire retardant research was divided into five different study areas: (1) retardant effectiveness; (2) retardant physical properties; (3) retardant delivery systems; (4) retardant-caused corrosion; and 5) retardant environmental impact. Past research is reviewed for each…
