Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cover Type and Fire Control in the National Forests of Northern California The amount and kind of fuel present in the woodland type varies greatly. In the drier situations the oaks, the principal species, occur as isolated trees, with Widespreading crowns. This form of woodland type merges with the grassland type throughout its range; the ground is carpeted With grasses and weeds In profusion, and these form the principal fuel. Fires, as in the grassland type, spread With great rapidity over the surface, though rarely running up to the tree crowns. Where precipitation is heavier, the woodland type forms a close canopy of many hardwood species and the ground is heavily covered with a layer of dried and decayed leaves, and lacks any understory of grasses and weeds. Fires in the denser stands eat their way slowly through this semicompacted mass of organic material, flaring up occasionally through the trees under increased wind velocity.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Planning, Constructing, and Operating Forest-Fire Lookout Systems in California The principles upon Which a forest-fire lookout system should be based to meet such detection needs as occur in northern California were developed in a recent bulletin.1 Proper application of these principles requires technical methods and apparatus Which have since been the subject of special studies. These studies and the detection planning program based upon them involving all the national forests of the California region have resulted in the development of practical methods and special technique - particularly in'the making of Visible area maps and in the use of these maps to build efficient detection systems - that may well have a wider application. This circular not only explains these methods and their technique but discusses also alternative methods that may be helpful to' those engaged in meeting similar problems under different conditions.

This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Forest Fire Prevention Manual for the School Children of California As you leave the valley and start up toward the mountains, you first enter the foothill region of our State, which borders the great valley at elevations of from 1000 feet to 2500 feet above sea level, and there the oaks, of which we have some sixteen varieties, are the most impor tant trees. The trees in this belt are of use to us as fuel, but do not make good lumber because they are crooked and often rotten at the heart. As you continue to climb above the foothill zone, at an eleva tion of from 2500 to 7000 feet, you will find our good forests of pine and fir timber. The commercial timber trees of California - that is to say, the trees that are manufactured into lumber, belong to the conifer family, so called because they produce their fruit, or seeds, in a bone that is covered with tough, woody scales to protect the seeds. The most valuable timber trees, in order of importance, are the yellow pine, redwood, sugar pine, Douglas fir, white fir and incense cedar.

Download or read book Fire Control Notes 1951 Vol 12 written by United States Forest Service and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, 1951, Vol. 12: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control In order to separate the effects of risk and flammability (burning index), a method of rating the severity of fire seasons, reported in a previous article,2 is used. Briefly, the number of expected fires is calculated from the cumulated burning indexes as reported from the fire-danger stations, assuming for purposes of the calculation that an unchanging risk prevails. Then the expected and the actual number of fires are plotted for a number of years. To show this, data from all northeastern national forests and States, excepting Delaware (for which information is not available), are graphed in figure 1. It is evident that both the number of actual and expected fires took a sharp upswing in 1949. The trends are not exactly the same but the amount of divergence is small - 1949 ratio 1948 ratio For the region as a whole, the risk was almost the same in 1949 as it was in 1948, and it can therefore be concluded that the difference in the number of fires between the years was caused by weather conditions.
