Excerpt from Some Applications of Danger Ratings in Forest Fire Control and Management The system of measuring forest fire danger developed at the Southeast ern Forest Experiment Station is used throughout the Eastern and Southern regions of the United States. At last count, 814 fire danger stations were operated by state, federal, and private fire control agencies in these regions. Although a number of publications have been issued on the location, opera tion, and maintenance of danger stations, there is only fragmentary published material on the many possible uses and applications of danger measurements.

Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, 1951, Vol. 12: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control In order to separate the effects of risk and flammability (burning index), a method of rating the severity of fire seasons, reported in a previous article,2 is used. Briefly, the number of expected fires is calculated from the cumulated burning indexes as reported from the fire-danger stations, assuming for purposes of the calculation that an unchanging risk prevails. Then the expected and the actual number of fires are plotted for a number of years. To show this, data from all northeastern national forests and States, excepting Delaware (for which information is not available), are graphed in figure 1. It is evident that both the number of actual and expected fires took a sharp upswing in 1949. The trends are not exactly the same but the amount of divergence is small - 1949 ratio 1948 ratio For the region as a whole, the risk was almost the same in 1949 as it was in 1948, and it can therefore be concluded that the difference in the number of fires between the years was caused by weather conditions.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, 1969, Vol. 30: A Quarterly Periodical Devoted to Forest Fire In the past decade, prescribed burning by many land management organizations has increased in both size and cost. Complexity has also increased because of accumulations of untreated logging slash and trends toward summer burning. As prescribed burning has increased, so has the need for tools to accomplish such burning safely and efficiently. The Missoula Equipment Develop ment Center is currently developing several tools for prescribed burning. One is a high-volume sprayer for ground application of retardants.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 2: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; October 1938 Exchange of ideas, even between good thinkers, is almost impossible unless there is a common fund of terms which mean the same thing to those concerned. The protection of forests from fire, like other growing fields of thought, suffers acutely from lack of precision in the words and ideas used. The author boldly attacks this evil and offers some con structive suggestions. It is hoped that others will follow. Progress and expression in any field of endeavor may be advanced through definition of the Scope of the field and through development of a concise and adequate terminology. Opportunities exist in the expanding field of forest protection for the improvement of terminology and for definition of the field. Forest-protection activities were largely neglected in the 1917 report of the committee on forest terminology, Society of American Foresters. Although forest protection is recognized as one of the five main branches of forestry, neither the term forest protection nor any of its accepted subdivisions are defined in the report. The purpose of this article is to attempt to clarify definitions and interrelationships in one subdivision of forest protection - fire. The fire glossary defines fire control as the entire group of activities including prevention, presuppression, and suppression, aiming to reduce the number Of fires and their spread, and to confine the area burned to an acceptable minimum at the lowest possible cost. See prevention, presuppression, fire suppression. Fire protection is de fined as synonymous with fire control, the latter being given prefer ence. The administrative organization of the Forest Service uses the term fire control ln referring to the entire field of fire work. Other administrative fire organizations, State and private, also commonly refer to their field of activity as fire control.
