Recent estimates of particulate production from forest fires in the United States have ranged from 500,000 to 54,000,000 tons annually. This has been due partly to disparities in estimates of fuel that is consumed during the combustion process, but more to the choice of emission…

[from the text] To protect a wilderness from fire or not-that was the first debate I remember within the U. S. Forest Service on entering the organization in 1938. The area in question was part of the present Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in Idaho and Montana. Opponents of…
