The emergence of large fires of long duration (also known as siege fires) with their inherently high costs has raised numerous questions about the opportunities for cost containment. Cost reviews from the 2003 fire season have revealed how additional...
Alaska Reference Database
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.
A metric variant of Prognosis (also known as the Forest Vegetation Simulator) has been linked to the Western Root Disease extension, and used to explore the interaction between partial harvesting, Armillaria root disease and productivity in 24...

From the text ... 'A transfer of command should not be confused with a transition in fire behavior or in situational complexity on a fire. ...Recognizing potentially deadly changes in fire behavior should begin on the first day of fire season....
Fire regimes are sets of recurring conditions of fire that characterize given fife-maintained ecosystems. On any given area, a fire regime is also a unique fire history. In biodiversity conservation, one should distinguish between the concept of a...
A basic system of forest fire protection standards has been developed. Primary objectives are defined in terms of acceptable burned area. A method is described by which secondary objectives may be calculated in terms of elapsed-time for the performance...
