An airborne infrared line scanner sensitive to the 3- to 5-micron spectral region mapped 38 forest fires during the 1963, 1964, and 1966 fire seasons. The imagery obtained provideed information about the fire perimeter, relative intensity of burning areas, and spot fire location…

This paper describes the results of examining the influence of radiative heat transfer on turbulent natural convection above fires in an atmosphere of constant potential temperature, under both the 'opaque' and 'transparent' approximations. It turns out that on the basis of the…

Results are presented of aircraft and ground-based measurements which were made in 1966 near five forest fires in the south-western part of Western Australia.On the three occasions when the wind was reasonably steady and valid comparisons were possible, the calculated amount of…

[Excerpted from text] Most experienced firefighters have encountered fire whirlwinds. These whirls, or "fire devils" as they are sometimes called, range in size from small twisters a foot or two in diameter up to violent whirls equal to small tornadoes in size and intensity.…

Late in 1961 the Northern Forest Fire Laboratory initiated a fire detection research program. The primary objective of this program is the development of a system capable of detecting both man-caused and lightning-caused fires day or night through all normally encountered…
