Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 21: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; October, 1960 Director, Division of Fire Control, U. S. Forest Service, Washington, D. C. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to consider the very important subject of railroad fire prevention. Fire preven tion, like the frequency of man-caused fires, has its ups and downs. Apparently we are in an up period nationally. All protection agencies taken collectively have had an upsurge in man-caused fires during the past 2 years. Many explanations are given for this but it would be difficult to be certain of the true cause. Apparently, there is no one cause but several. This up swing in man-caused fires has focused renewed attention on fire prevention. We are beginning some fire prevention research aimed at trying to determine the exact cause for fires, the reason behind the cause, and at trying to evaluate the various prevention efforts now used with all man-causes. We look forward to the time when application of increased knowledge and improved methods will greatly reduce fires within the forests. We hope railroad fires will follow this path. Recent experience on the national forests has been encouraging. Railroad fires have been of concern to the Forest Service since we were given the job of protecting the national forests nearly 60 years ago. Fires from railroad causes were very common in western national forests in the early days. Not much attention was paid to either suppression or prevention in those times. As we were able to greatly reduce the acreage burned and resulting damages through better fire control, we began to give more attention to preventing all fires. We recognize that the best fire is the one that never happens. This emphasizes prevention. In examining the fire record of the national forests for the past 10 years, I note that there has been a general reduction in railroad fires, but the pattern by regions and national forests is irregular. For example, for the 5-year period 1949-54 there were railroad fires on the national forests. For the next 5 years this had dropped to 604 or to nearly one-half.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, 1953, Vol. 14: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control The most successful fire control job that can be accomplished is the prevention of fires. Fires such as those started by lightning and by air crashes, vehicle accidents, and enemy action in time of war cannot be prevented. However, the vast majority of man caused fires are susceptible to prevention efforts. The purpose of this article is to outline what procedures to establish and the methods to follow to assist in the prevention of fires. A brief background of the major uses of wild lands and their general relationship to fire occurrence will point up the Value of fire prevention and will aid in the preparation of a specific plan for a given unit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 17: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; October 1956 The comparative fire hazard of areas of burned and unburned slash was investigated by Munger and Matthews and they concluded that unburned slash in western Washington and Ore gon is one-third more hazardous than burned slash 10 years after logging. Cheyney on the other hand, writes in the Journal of Forestry: It would be a conservative statement to say that no slash is a special fire hazard in the Lake States for more than 5 years after it is cut. There appears to be no doubt, however, that an accumulation of slash in a cut-over forest will increase the fire hazard of the area for a considerable period after cutting operations have been completed. Further, it is evident that in any locality the increase of hazard brought about by the pres ence of slash will vary somewhat with the method of slash treat ment employed, and with the number of years which have elapsed since cutting took place. The Federal Forestry Branch, in co-operation with the Mani toba Forest Service, conducted a series of large-scale test fires in slash areas in the Sandilands Forest Reserve. The object of the study was to determine experimentally, (a) the comparative fire hazard in jack pine in similar cut-over areas where different slash treatments had been employed and, (b) the variations in hazard which occur as slash ages. The term slash age will be used to refer to the number of years since logging. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

It was interesting to note that there was no case in May of the years studied in which a Hudson Bay high moved southward or south southeastward from the Hudson Bay region, that was not associated with a period of very high burning index in Wisconsin.
