Weather conditions are among the most important elements to be considered in the planning and execution of a prescribed burn. Temperature and relative humidity have a direct effect on the moisture content of fuels. Together with wind they determine fire hazard and the ability of…

Several bog fires in the Florida Everglades in the spring of 1974 created a great deal of acrid smoke which was advected northward and reduced visibilities at many locations, including Patrick AFB. A subsidence inversion and low-level southwesterly flow combined on 1 May to send…

[from the text] To protect a wilderness from fire or not-that was the first debate I remember within the U. S. Forest Service on entering the organization in 1938. The area in question was part of the present Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in Idaho and Montana. Opponents of…
