This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forest and Range Fire Problems of the Missouri Ozarks Missouri's million acres of forest are producing only one-fifth to one-third of their potential because of frequent forest and range fires and other misuses. These forests are one of the State's most important renewable resources. They occupy more land area than any other crop. Moreover, about 80 percent of the forest million acres) lies in the rough Ozark Region where most of the land is better suited to forests than any other crop. About two - thirds of the lumber used in Missouri is imported, and yet people must continually migrate from the forested region to find employment. If forests are to contribute their proper share to the economy of the area, it is necessary to stop the misuses and improve the management of forests and utilization of forest products. Adequate protection from fire is the first step. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Critics Circle Award Winner: “The terrifying story of the worst disaster in the history of the US Forest Service’s elite Smokejumpers.” —Kirkus Reviews A devastating and lyrical work of nonfiction, Young Men and Fire describes the events of August 5, 1949, when a crew of fifteen of the US Forest Service’s elite airborne firefighters, the Smokejumpers, stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. Two hours after their jump, all but three of the men were dead or mortally burned. Haunted by these deaths for forty years, Norman Maclean puts together the scattered pieces of the Mann Gulch tragedy in this extraordinary book. Alongside Maclean’s now-canonical A River Runs Through It and Other Stories, Young Men and Fire is recognized today as a classic of the American West. This edition of Maclean’s later triumph—the last book he would write—includes a powerful new foreword by Timothy Egan, author of The Big Burn and The Worst Hard Time. As moving and profound as when it was first published, Young Men and Fire honors the literary legacy of a man who gave voice to an essential corner of the American soul. “A moving account of humanity, nature, and the perseverance of the human spirit.” —Library Journal “Haunting.” —The Wall Street Journal “Engrossing.” —Publishers Weekly

This book was released on 2017 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controlling wildfires has been a significant mission for the state and federal governments since the early 1900s. During this time, the agencies responsible for wildland fire management have worked jointly in many ways to minimize losses from fires and to constantly improve firefighting and fire management techniques. In 1967, a new organization was established among the 20 states within the northeastern area of the United States to unite the forest fire control supervisors from each of those states. Since then, the Northeast Forest Fire Supervisors have been charged with the responsibility to stimulate and promote the development and use of specialized forest fire equipment, including better techniques in fire prevention, presuppression, suppression, and improved training and safety methods.

Book excerpt: This is the true story of a wildfire that wiped half of a Missouri village off the map. This is the premium version with a hard cover and smooth interior paper. The Great Wooldridge Fire on the 22nd of October 2022, burned half of the village of Wooldridge off the map in less than two hours. The fire triggered the largest statewide fire mutual aid in Missouri History. The fire was fought by 161 firefighters from 63 departments from all over the State of Missouri. Three residents nearly lost their lives. Seasoned leaders of fire departments stood and watched the fire at moments. They'd never seen anything like it. Most people have no idea what happened in Wooldridge last fall. The fire left most residents, living on the edge of poverty, struggling to meet basic needs. Half the Town Burned tells the story of the first responders reacting to the largest wildfire of their careers and the residents trying to pick up the pieces, their entire lives changing in mere hours. The volunteers of the Cooper County Fire Protection District along with their local mutual aid partners, carried the load of the fire until statewide mutual aid arrived. Research includes interviews with 46 witnesses, review of official records, 75 media reports, 911 call and fire department radio chatter. Few fires have been documented from the angles of the residents, firefighters, law enforcement, and state emergency management officials. Half the Town Burned is a case study for fire departments and emergency management agencies on all aspects of a disaster.
