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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Based on the hypothesis that the spatial distribution on the ground of fire retardant materials, dropped from fixed-wing aircraft, must be a result of the physical properties of the retardant, a series of experiments has been run to measure the dispersal patterns obtained with…

Retardant coverage computers/slide charts have been developed for many aircraft and tank and gating systems in the national airtanker fleet. The computers indicate retardant delivery performance for specific tank and gating systems, and recommend coverage levels for various fuel…

Fire shelters are required equipment for most wildland firefighters in the United States. In this study we report flame emissive power and temperatures inside and outside fire shelters placed in one prescribed fire, five experimental field fires, and one laboratory fire. Energy…

The success of a fire use program is in large part dependent on a solid foundation set in clear and concise planning. The planning process results in specific goals and measurable objectives for fire application, provides a means of setting priorities, and establishes a…
