To assess public attitudes and values regarding fires and fire management, a telephone survey was conducted of California residents. Most respondents were concerned about wildland and wilderness fires. The greatest percentage agreed that 'we probably have to let some fires burn…

This study uses panel data from a mail survey administered to the same individuals in 1996 and 2000 to measure change in public attitudes toward fire management programs on federal lands in eastern Oregon and Washington. Findings were generally similar between 1996 and 2000, but…

Fires can be catastrophic, but only when the weather permits. Predicting the weather more than a few hours into the future with accuracy, precision and reliability is an on-going challenge to researchers. Accurate and precise forecasting for more than a few hours into the future…

As fire policy and management take on a greater role in land agencies, a better understanding is needed of public opinion, particularly of homeowners who are most affected by wildland fires. This research assessed homeowners' attitudes toward three fuel management approaches -…

In Florida, natural communities require periodic fires for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Because of public concerns, wildfires can no longer be allowed to perform this mandatory function so prescribed burning is essential to manage these plant and animal communities…
