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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The Idaho Panhandle National Forests wildfire hazard-risk assessment

The Idaho Panhandle National Forests (IPNF), in partnership with the University of Idaho, the Fire Sciences Laboratory, and The Sampson Group, developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) based wildfire hazard-risk assessment. The assessment was...

Mapping fuels for fire management on the Gila National Forest, New Mexico

Fuel input layers for the FARSITE fire growth model were created for all lands in and around the Gila National Forest, New Mexico, using satellite imagery, terrain modeling, and biophysical simulation. FARSITE is a spatially explicit fire growth model...

The use of aerial photography for development of fuel loading prediction models within three cover types in the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico

Fuel load prediction equations that make use of aerial photographs were developed for Mixed Conifer, Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Ex Laws.) and Pinyon-Juniper (Pinus edulis Engelm.) (Juniperus monosperma Engelm.) cover types from one time...

The chemistry of fire and smoke: the composition, amount, and fate of smoke from residual smoldering combustion [abstract]

Smoke may present the most intractable barrier of all to implementing more enlightened fire management. The benefits of a prescribed fire program can only be realized if the public and regulatory agencies agree that the air quality impacts are...

Effect of thinning and prescribed burning on wildfire severity in ponderosa pine forests

From the Management Implications (p.139-140)... 'Our findings indicate that fuel treatments do mitigate fire severity. Treatments provide a window of opportunity for effective fire suppression and protecting high-value areas. Although topography...

Fire monitoring and smoke emissions by remote sensing [abstract]

Emissions of atmospheric pollutants from vegetation fires can greatly affect local and regional air quality. The near real-time information on the magnitude of fires, the amount of pollutants emitted, and their impact on air quality is critical to fire...

New capability for early fire detection and location [abstract]

This paper describes the function and capabilities of a new approach to incipient and mature fire detection, geolocation, tracking and characterization for the firefighting and forest management industry. This approach consists of a system, made up of...

The Greater Vancouver Water District -- an ecological inventory approach to fire hazard assessment and treatment for protection of water quality and other secondary values

In 1992 the Greater Vancouver Water District began an extensive ecological inventory of its three watersheds (53,600 ha) that serve as the drinking water source for the Greater Vancouver Region. The focus of the inventory, which integrates physical and...

Twentieth century fire patterns in the Gila/Aldo Leopold Wilderness Complex New Mexico and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area Idaho/Montana

We present results from ongoing research into 20th Century fire regimes in two large Rocky Mountain wilderness areas. Fire patterns are represented as digital fire atlases based on archival forest service data. We find that spatial and temporal fire...
