Prescribed burning is a preferred treatment in many fuel management situations because of its low cost, campatibility with other land-use objectives, and little or not undesirable side effects. The problems, limitations, and associated consequences of fire treatments are…

Goals and objectives outlined in the Clean Air Act of 1977 are in conflict with land management practices that utilize control or prescribed burns to maintain a healthy ecosystem. Specifically, smoke emissions from burn areas can significantly and adversely affect the visual air…

Height of slash fire smoke columns, commonly thought to be a function of atmospheric conditions alone, through a series of 10-acre experimental fires is shown to be strongly related to fire intensity. By conducting intense fires, land managers can possibly burn forest debris and…

Forest fires can be divided into two broad classes-wildfires and prescribed fires. Wildfires, whether caused by nature (lightning, etc.) or by the accidental or malicious acts of man, are not planned by forest managers and do not occur under controlled conditions. They can be…
