In Canada about 1.3 million hectares (M ha) of forests are destroyed by wildfires each year, and about 63% of all these fires are man-caused. During the 1980 and 1981 fire seasons, however, about 10 M ha were damaged; estimated annual emissions from forest fires were 224 million…

Mass fires are being investigated through a series of large-scale test fires. Preliminary results indicate: (a) air flow patterns that create eddies can result in fire vortices when fires is present; (b) the lower part of the convection column consists of a series of small…

Forest fire smoke contains many contaminants, a number of which are potentially dangerous to health. Depending upon concentration and length of exposure, both acute and chronic effects can occur. Chronic or long term effects are no doubt most significant. To minimize these…

The control of large fires is a problem of continuing concern to the Forest Service, other public agencies, and private owners of forest and rangeland. A few large fires each year account for all but a small share of the Nation's forest fire losses. In time of war, this problem…
