Book excerpt: "In September 2004, the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers established a federal, provincial, and territorial task group of assistant deputy ministers (ADMs) and commissioned the development of the Canadian Wildland Fire Strategy (CWFS). The ADMs created an intergovernmental team of analysts, experienced fire managers, and researchers, known as the CWFS Core Team, to consult with Canadian and international experts, collate information, conduct analyses, and present the findings. This team was directed to assess the current state of wildland fire management in Canada, examine the key influences and trends, and identify possible desired future states and how they could be achieved. This publication comprises a collection of nine reports written by the CWFS Core Team members and their associates. Collectively these papers include syntheses, analyses, and perspective articles that address a variety of the social, economic, and biophysical aspects of wildland fire and its management as well as policy, science, and operational issues in Canada."--Pub. desc.

Download or read book Fire Shelters Weaken Transmissions from Hand held Radios written by Ted Etter and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildland firefighters who try to use their hand-held radios inside fire shelters will be unlikely to communicate with their supervisors and may not even be able to communicate with other firefighters inside fire shelters just 50 feet away. Transmissions from the older VHF (very high frequency, 30 to 300 MHz) Bendix-King radios were not weakened as badly as those from the newer UHF (ultra high frequency, 300 to 3,000 MHz) Motorola Astro XTS 3000 radios. The standard fire shelter being carried by wildland firefighters did not weaken the transmissions as much as the New Generation Fire Shelter that is just beginning to be carried by wildland firefighters. The tech tip includes a table showing exactly how much the transmissions were weakened in different situations. Essentially, firefighters could shout and be heard as far as if they used their new UHF radios inside a fire shelter.

The National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG), through its Equipment Technology Committee, recognized a need for guidance on ground ignition operations. The procedures and equipment outlined in this guide address both incident and project ground ignition operations. The "Interagency Ground Ignition Guide" has been developed to: Define and standardize procedures and equipment for approved ground ignition operations by all cooperating natural resource agencies; Ensure that all ground ignition operations are performed in a safe and efficient manner; Provide a framework within which areas, regions, States, and local units can provide their own supplemental, site-specific guidance; Provide the minimum standards/specifications for ground ignition equipment.
