The southwest Yukon is currently experiencing a widespread outbreak of spruce bark beetle, creating an extensive area of standing dead trees. With the increased level of fire risk, monitoring fuel treatment effectiveness, especially in terms of reducing crown fire spread, has become an important part of an adaptive management approach. This presentation presents some key fire hazard attributes and a fire model for exploring treatment effectiveness. This webinar was hosted by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium (http://akfireconsortium.uaf.edu).
