Prescribed Burn 2-57 was the second of four prescribed burns studied in 1957. In this burn we were particularly interested in studying air flow on the lee side of a ridge oriented approximately at right angles to the prevailing wind. Experience has shown that erratic fire…

'Control burning of brush is now a common practice in range improvement in California. Frequently, before burning, some or all of the brush is mashed down with mechanical equipment or killed by chemical sprays. To learn how destructive such fires are to wildlife, a study was…

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…

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,…
