The history of the Clean Air Act is reviewed from 1955 to 1980. The 1980 Visibility Regulation is cited as the first federal clean air policy which specifically addresses prescribed burning. Thirty-six states containing National Parks and Wilderness areas are now required to…

From the text ... 'The primary objective of prescribed burning on forest recreation areas in New Jersey is to reduce the probability of their destruction by wildfire. Investigation has shown that when uncontrolled fires enter treated areas they do much less damage and…

From the summary ... ' In summary, the results of these large scale fire tests, conducted under marginal burning conditions, were negative; but, paradoxically, I find this very heartening, for we can now be much more confident in our predictions of fire behavior to be expected…

'During the past year, burning treatments on the Miller Creek Block were essentially completed. Preparations for moving to Newman Ridge, on the St. Regis District, this spring are well underway. Current plans call for 16 instrumented fires on Newman Ridge during 1969 to conclude…

Logging slash on 73 clearcuts in the western larch/Douglas-fir forest of western Montana was broadcast burned over a wide range of environmental conditions. A broad array of fire intensities and effects was achieved. A severe wildfire was also evaluated and compared to the…
