From the text... 'An ideal forest fire detection system would detect fires the instant they start, day or night, under any condition of visibility. Additionally, it could distinguish potentially dangerous fires from those that would not concern fire suppression forces. Although…

Most western state laws pertaining to prescribed burning do not specifically deal with range rehabilitation. Prescribed burns require a burning permit issued by the State Forester, or his equivalent, prior to ignition during closed fire seasons. Air quality standards have been…

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…

Post-harvest burning of straw and stubble in grass fields is the most valuable cultural practice in grass-seed production in Oregon. Unfortunately, smoke from burning fields sometimes creates a nuisance to others who understandably question the idea. This discussion is presented…
