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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the text: 'Research has demonstrated that a high correlation exists between the moisture content of fine fuels and the moisture content of the ambient air. The mortarboard psychrometer was developed by the Southern Forest Fire Laboratory to provide a simple, accurate, yet…

It is assumed that the flow of moisture in forest fuels and other woody materials is determined by the gradient of a quantity g which is a function of some property, or properties, of the moisture content. There appears to be no preferred choice for this function, hence moisture…

Uncontrolled fires produce flames where the initial momentum of the fuel is low compared with the momentum produced by buoyancy. The heights of such flames with wood as the fuel are examined and discussed in terms of both a dimensional analysis and the entrainment of air into…

Mass fires are likely to follow a nuclear attack. Since it is important to the civil defense program to be able to predict rate, duration, and extent of spread of such fires, the Office of Civil Defense, U.S. Department of Defense, issued a joint contract to the Forest Service…

Cambium heated with a hot air flow survived 60 degrees C exposures up to 4 minutes, and 65 degrees C for less than 2 minutes. Tetrazolium chloride was shown to be a suitable viability test stain for several resinous and non-resinous species. Techniques and results are discussed.
