Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, 1962, Vol. 23: A Quarterly Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control Fire Control Notes came into being in December 1936 because of the premise that the widely scattered, creative efforts of individuals and separate groups in fire control work could not be fully effective unless they were shared with others. The lead article in that issue, Fire Control Offers Its Services, is reprinted here because the purpose and aims expressed in it are as true today as they were 25 years ago.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 23: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; October, 1962 Why, in June, are some fires controlled at small size while others defy control no matter what the action taken? Why can you reach some lightning fires while they are still in the tree, vet others explode into maior fires? Why does a quiet or apparently controlled fire suddenly act up? A look at relative humidity showed day-to-day fluctuations and seemed not to be an adeouate answer to these questions. This study seems to indicate that a deadly one-two combination of an unusually warm night followed by a warm day may be the key.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 3: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; January, 1939 Previous to 1933 lookout towers purchased on the basis of plans and specifications were of structural steel. About that time there were coming into use in this country, timber connectors which, in comparison with ordinary bolted or spiked joints, greatly facilitated the transmission of stress through joints in timber structures. The connectors as used in Forest Service lookout-tower construction consist of metal rings which are placed between two timbers, the connecting bolt passing through the center of the ring. The ring, with half its width projecting into the contacting face of each timber, transmits the stress from one timber to the other. These connectors are commonly used in CCC portable camp buildings. The development of the timber connectors and resultant increased possibilities for economical use of timber led to its consideration for lookout towers, a matter in which the lumber industry and the Forest Service were much interested. An attempt to purchase towers showed that the industry was not prepared to produce prefabricated timber in competition with the steel industry, where prefabrication was a long established practice. However, in view of the Forest Service's interest in developing the economical utilization of woods, eight towers were purchased on a specification restricted to timber, as an experimental project. Reports of this project indicated that fabrication was decid edly defective, causing long delays during erection. As a result, tower bids were again limited to steel. Pressure on the Forest Service to consider timber gradually ih creased as the timber industry improved its methods of prefabrication and the large purchases of towers in connection with the CCC program so stimulated this pressure that the subject was reopened.

Aim the nozzle at the hottest part of the fire and release the gas. Usually a quick shot or two Of the chemical will decrease the intensity of the fire, after which you can advance sweeping the nozzle back and forth across the face of the fire for greatest coverage.

This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 25 This understanding triggered a method of creating, along a control line, a microclimate that might bring crown fires out of the treetops. Then effective attack with conventional control equipment would be pos sible. In situations where advance deployment of forces can be made, some lessening of the intensity of the fire head may result even when complete success is not achieved. Crown fires moving in natural or planted stands of red, white, and jack pine constitute an immediate and growing fire control problem in the Lake States. Open ings of 50 to 150 feet wide provided by roadways, power lines, and fire lanes provide little hindrance to progress of such fires if the cover burns to the border of the opening. Flaming brands of cones and branches blow freely across the open; updrafts carry burning materials for substantial distances across the openings. Many of these brands rise vertically from intensely burning fuels and are carried aloft and over the tops; however, many more are cast horizontally and only short distances.
