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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The assessment ranks the risk of allotments to fire damage by various threat components. Improvements are verified on the parcels and attributes are collected on the improvements with respect to the standing fuels. Each improvement is located with a global positioning system (…

Because of the flammability of boreal forest, the National Park Service creates defensible space around park structures. This mechanical/manual treatment is not a 'clear cut' fuel break, rather a thinning of vegetation to reduce fire behavior to a manageable level for…

Applied Wildland Fire Research in Support of Project Level Hazardous Fuels Planning - Social Science
The Social Science Team is synthesizing research that answers five key questions that might be helpful when planning or implementing fuels treatment projects: 1) what information and tools are available to help land managers and communities collaborate in the development of fuel…

During 2002, fuel loadings were measured at 150 plots in three major fuel types across Anchorage's wildland-urban interface. A suite of Fire Danger Rating System (FDRS) fire behavior variables was sampled to parameterize custom fuel models for use in the FARSITE fire behavior…
