During summer 1969, fires burned 86,000 acres of the Kenai National Moose Range, south-central Alaska; two fires accounted for 99 percent of the burned area. Suppression efforts involved nearly 5,000 men; 135 miles of catline were constructed, and 822,000 gallons of retardant…

Fire in a plant community causes alterations in the chemical status of the community and in the availability of nutrients in the soil. These changes have been followed in an experimental study of grassland and tall herb communities on the Carboniferous Limestone of Derbyshire.…

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, nonirritating gas. One of the products of combustion, it is invisible, odorless, tasteless, and slightly lighter than air. But smoke, another combustion product, is visible. And when smoke is present, it is highly likely that CO and other…
