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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Reconstructing fire behaviour and effects in a subalpine forest

Fryer, Johnson
(1)The behaviour of the August 1936 Galatea fire in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains was reconstructed with respect to the rate of spread, frontal-fire intensity and fuel consumption, and illustrates that tree mortality, seed dispersal distance into the burn and…

A survey of airtankers and their use

Simard, Forster
'One of the most dramatic technological breakthroughs in forest fire suppression in recent years has been the development and use of airtankers...World War II surplus aircraft were available at a modest cost and many forest fire protection agencies developed an airtanker…

Analysis of two 1971 wildfires in Ontario: Thackeray and Whistle Lake

Walker, Stocks
Two wildfires in Ontario in 1971 are analyzed with respect to fire weather, fuel conditions and fire behavior, including rate of spread, fuel consumption and fire intensity. No attempt is made to assess suppression techniques or to discuss fire control costs.

Increment-borer methods for determining fire history in coniferous forests

Barrett, Arno
This report describes use of increment borers for interpreting fire history in coniferous forests. These methods are especially useful in wildernesses, parks, and other natural area where fire history is needed for fire management planning, but where sawing cross-sections from…
