Animal exposure studied and large scale fire data indicate that one of the early life hazards in a developing fire is from the generation of carbon monoxide and other combustion gases. A gas chromatograph as been interfaced to an NBS Smoke Chamber to study the rate of generation…

In a series of 11 surface burns in old fields at two locations in southern Ontario the environmental factors having the greatest effect on fire severity were fuel moisture content, windspeed and fuel energy. Other environmental factors were of less significance. Changes in soil…

Forest land generally produces considerable woody material other than that which is harvested as timber, needed for recycling of nutrients to the soil, or for sheltering wildlife and young forest seedlings. Excess forest residues, both living and dead, are often subject to…

Records of 21 stations were analyzed for the occurrence, persistence, and related visibility resulting from summertime wildfire smoke and haze in interior Alaska. Maximum probability of smoke occurrence for any station and month was 8.7 percent in July for Bettles. Seasonal…

[From the text] Fire has been an integral part of America's wildlands for millions of years. The only environments not experiencing fire as a significant ecological factor were those that remained very cold, very wet, or very dry, and even in these regions, extreme variation in…
