This paper presents an historical review of the concepts and developmental phases of the remote ignition of forest fuels by laser devices. An approximate 20-year developmental history is outlined that culminates with recent proposed concepts qf laser ignition devices (LID). Some of these concepts appear to be approaching reality Potential applications of these existing and proposed LlDs are given within the fields of wildfire control and prescribed burning as well as some uses in other areas of resource management are suggested.
