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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

An interesting collection of reports of large fires in the Tanana Flats in 1941-1942. Parts of the 1941 fires over-wintered and reappeared in spring 1942—an early record of this phenomenon which sparked a Research Brief in 2020: https://akfireconsortium.files.wordpress.com/2020…
