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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 conclusions:'Two of the four chemicals (polymers) and support equipment tested were found acceptable for use by the Forest Service-the Hexcel Hydropak and the Nalco polymer feed system. Use of the Hecel or Nalco system in a horizontal hose lay will, in effect, allow the…

From the conclusion:'It seems reasonable, therefore, to conclude that the procedure of seeding towering cumulus clouds to induce rain on forest fires shows good prospects for reducing overall fire fighting costs as well as reducing fire damage.'

This paper addresses the problem of predicting forest fire occurrence. A simple methodology is developed to elicit information, from experienced fire managers, for deriving subjective probability assessments concerning the number of fires that will be reported in their districts…

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 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…
