'The corn harvest on Salisbury Plain is gathered mainly by combine harvesters. Much more straw than is required by the farmer is produced, consequently it is not uncommon for some to be burnt where it lies, evenly distributed in the field. The meteorological office roof at…

The feasibility of open burning under selected meteorological conditions is discussed. Meteorological provisos and nonmeteorological factors are enumerated. Topics discussed include: combustion, fuel mositure, fire hazard, forecasting, fallout and odor, and air pollution…

The Prescribed Burn Fireclimate Survey 1-57 was the first of four prescribed burn surveys in 1957. In this burn we were looking particularly for effects of fire on the wind patterns on the lee side of the fire. Instrumentation, observation techniques, and data collected were…

Five meshes (1/8 to 1 inch) of 16-gauge steel wire fences, 3 feet high, were tested as possible ground fire barriers in 4 fuel types. The 1/8-inch mesh stopped only 1 test fire but retarded others; 1/4-inch mesh retarded some. The results suggest that further trials may be…

Asphalts and wax emulsions have been recommended as protective coatings to help obtain clean, safe burns in slash disposal work. Fuel value determinations in the laboratory indicate that such coatings add little to the fuel value of slash.

The importance of fire for the regeneration of the forests has never been so topical as in our days, when increasing use is made of controlled burning in the interests of forestry. In 1955 about 40,000 hectares of forest land, belonging to the Forest Service and the companies,…
