This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing wildfire activity and an expanding wildland-urban interface (WUI) have produced a condition where wildfires are destroying thousands of homes annually and decimating land management budgets. To explore potential solutions for this issue, five wildfire events across the western U.S. were evaluated to examine the relationship between homes burning and pre-fire canopy cover in the 30-meter home ignition zone (HIZ). We found that only two of five fires showed strong relationships between canopy cover and home loss, with the other three exhibiting moderate to weak relationships. These results suggest that canopy cover is not a consistent driver of homes burning in timbered WUI environments, as well as point to the complex, interacting factors intrinsic to home ignitions. The findings indicate that reducing canopy cover in the HIZ may not be as important for preventing home loss as other measures that deter ignition from airborne embers or surface fires.

Download or read book The Homeowner s Guide to Wildfire Prevention written by Robert Sieben and published by . This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a major wildfire is burning, it's too late for fire prevention and sometimes beyond the efforts of firefighters. That's why the most important person preventing a house from burning is the homeowner. If you live in an area threatened by wildfires, here are the most important steps you can take to preserve your home. Install an automatic gas shut off valve. Ember-proof your home. Keep decks clear. Create and maintain a non-ignition zone adjacent to your house. Remove junipers from your property. Take advantage of the wet season for vegetation management. Provide both vertical and horizontal spacing between plants and trees. Your fire insurance will not replace the time, anguish, valued personal items, or loss of community that occurs when your house burns down. The Homeowner's Guide to Fire Prevention provides information that may save your home.

Download or read book Ignition Stories written by Cynthia Fowler and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do tropical farmers think about, handle, and respond to fire? What is the role of fire in the coevolution of self, society, and environment? In the compelling narratives that make up this ethnography, the lives of Kodi women, men, and children unfold within an island landscape that has been shaped by 14,000 years of anthropogenic fires and 300,000 years of natural fires. Ignition Stories connects the Kodi people who design fires with their living kin and their ancient ancestors, then links them to nearby communities in neighboring hamlets, to other ethno-linguistic groups across Sumba, and to far-flung multiethnic, virtual coalitions. In this book, Fowler searches through Kodi people's mundane fire management practices as well as the shared beliefs, myths, rituals, and arts of this Papuan-Austronesian culture and the intimate emotions of individual members of the community to explain the unique character of people and landscape in the Indo-Australian monsoon zone. Ignition Stories convey the fantastic ability of fire to communicate human ideas, perceptions, meanings, symbols, emotions, and desires. Using an innovative blend of anthropology and fire ecology, Fowler explores the globally-relevant topic of the risks and benefits of burning for both people and ecosystems, and captures the complexity of human-environment relations in fire-adapted landscapes. Fowler shows us how the senses of self that produce collective identities intersect with cycles of disturbance and succession to create diverse microecologies and emergent societies. This book is part of the Ritual Studies Monograph Series, edited by Pamela J. Stewart and Andrew Strathern, Department of Anthropology, University of Pittsburgh.
