Flaming Forest
Rated 0 out of 5
0 ReviewsPaperback – October 21, 2020
by Montgomery M. Atwater (Author), James E. Atwater (Editor)
Flaming Forest is the first in the series of books featuring Hank Winton, which showcase the fire-fighting role of the United States Forest Service. It was written in the terminal years of the Great Depression, shortly before the entry of the United States into World War II.....Set in the time period during which it was written, the Forest Service had just begun experimenting with parachutes as a means of rapid delivery of fire-fighters to remote locations. The term smokejumper had yet to be coined. These were days when supplies to remote facilities deep within the wilderness were packed in by mule-train. Dude was a mildly derogatory term applied to easterners and city folk, meaning greenhorn or tenderfoot. And the average monthly salary for a Dude Wrangler was forty-dollars. ....Yet over the past eighty years, little has changed in the equipment or the methods employed by the ground troops battling on the fire-lines, where the most important tools remain the skill and courage of the men and women who put their bodies on the line for the benefit of us all.

Flash Point
Rated 0 out of 5
0 ReviewsHardcover – April 3, 2006
by Sneed B. Collard III (Author)
As wildfires threaten his home, his stepfather’s livelihood, and the raptors he has come to love, Luther struggles to resolve the conflicts in his community and the ones inside himself. The town of Heartwood, Montana is burning out of control. Stoked by nearby wildfires, long-standing disputes over forestry policies have been reignited, pitting out-of-work local residents against environmentalists and state wildlife managers. At the center of the heated dispute is high school sophomore Luther Wright. Luther used to be just like all his friends, playing football and partying every chance he got. But now he spends his time helping the local veterinarian Kay rehabilitate injured raptors. Against the backdrop of Montana’s worst wildfire season in years, Luther begins questioning many of the community’s basic precepts, and in doing so faces alienation. But when someone starts shooting Kay’s birds and suspicious fires start breaking out, Luther is drawn into a situation far more dangerous than he could have ever imagined. Award-winning author Sneed B. Collard III offers readers an affecting, realistic portrait of a teenage boy who learns to navigate a difficult course between standing up for what he believes and maintaining loyalty to his family and friends. Collard also provides a balanced look at the difficulties of balancing competing environmental and economic interests.

Florida: A Fire Survey (To the Last Smoke)
Rated 0 out of 5
0 ReviewsPaperback – Illustrated, March 31, 2016
by Stephen J. Pyne (Author)
In Florida, fire season is plural, and it is most often a verb. Something can always burn. Fires burn longleaf, slash, and sand pine. They burn wiregrass, sawgrass, and palmetto. The lush growth, the dry winters, the widely cast sparks—Florida is built to burn. In this important new collection of essays on the region, Stephen J. Pyne colorfully explores the ways the region has approached fire management. Florida has long resisted national models of fire suppression in favor of prescribed burning, for which it has ideal environmental conditions and a robust culture. Out of this heritage the fire community has created institutions to match. The Tallahassee region became the ignition point for the national fire revolution of the 1960s. Today, it remains the Silicon Valley of prescription burning. How and why this happened is the topic of a fire reconnaissance that begins in the panhandle and follows Floridian fire south to the Everglades. Florida is the first book in a multivolume series describing the nation’s fire scene region by region. The volumes in To the Last Smoke will also cover California, the Northern Rockies, the Great Plains, the Southwest, and several other critical fire regions. The series serves as an important punctuation point to Pyne’s fifty-year career with wildland fire—both as a firefighter and a fire scholar. These unique surveys of regional pyrogeography are Pyne’s way of “keeping with it to the end,” encompassing the directive from his rookie season to stay with every fire “to the last smoke.”

by Genanaw Alemu (Author)
Forest of the world is under serious threat owing to deforestation and fire. It is vital to understand the extent and pattern of deforestation to devise strategies before the problem results in massive environmental impact. On top of this identifying the degree of susceptibility of the forest to forest fire is also plays the same role. However, determining the extent and pattern of deforestation and identifying the level of susceptibility of the forest to fire is challenging by traditional approach. Thus, this book provides a technique to determine the extent, pattern and rate of deforestation. Moreover, it provides a method to analyze the degree susceptibility of the forest to forest fire. Although fire is one of the devastating factors for most vegetation,surprisingly it creates favorable condition for ericaceous vegetation of Ethiopian highland. The analysis in this book provides help to utilize GIS and remote sensing for forest fire susceptibility analysis, cover change detection and land cover pattern analysis. Particularly it offers useful information to professionals in GIS and remote sensing ,forestry, and agriculture fields.

Forest Dynamics and Disturbance Regimes: Studies from Temperate Evergreen-Deciduous Forests
Rated 0 out of 5
0 Reviews1st Edition
by Lee E. Frelich (Author)
Lee Frelich provides a major contribution to the study of temperate-zone forest dynamics by considering three important themes: the combined influence of wind, fire, and herbivory on the successional trajectories and structural characteristics of forests; the interaction of deciduous and evergreen tree species to form mosiacs; and the significance of temporal and spatial scale with regard to the overall impact of disturbances. These themes are explored via case studies from the forests in the Lake States of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, where the presence of large primary forest remnants provides a unique opportunity to study the long-term dynamics of near-boreal, pine, and hardwood-hemlock forests.

by Janusz Szmyt(Editor)
This book concerns the different aspects of forest fires, the impact of fire on both forest resources (e.g. forest cover) and communities that use different forest functions. Therefore, forest fires have their environmental, economic and social consequences, and none of them is less important. Forest fires can be caused by both natural forces and anthropogenic factors, and in the latter case, it is extremely interesting to profile the potential arsonist. Forest fires may also cause conflicts, stronger or weaker, in local communities that have been using forests for years. These conflicts can be solved both by gradually changing the law itself and through education at the local level. Not less important is the ability to detect fires early, which can be helped by the development of modern technologies. In limiting the effects of forest fires, it may also be helpful to develop mathematical models that indicate various factors affecting the possibility of a fire or affecting the rate of its spread. Not less important is the attempt to assess the direction of forest regeneration after the fire has ceased, in understanding what the help of modern technology is. These aspects of forest fire are the subject of this book. I realize, however, that the contents in it can only be an incentive for the reader to learn more, in an interesting aspect. I assume that this book will be valuable to researchers as well as students who are interested in different aspects connected to forest fires, not only from the ecological point of view but also from the social one. Both are extremely important in future forest protection and sustainable use of forest by local communities.

Forest fires cause ecological, economic, and social damage to various states of the international community. The causes of forest fires are rather varied, but the main factor is human activity in settlements, industrial facilities, objects of transport infrastructure, and intensively developed territories (in other words, anthropogenic load). In turn, storm activity is also a basic reason for forest fires in remote territories. Therefore, scientists across the world have developed methods, approaches, and systems to predict forest fire danger, including the impact of human and storm activity on forested territories.

Forest Fires: Behavior and Ecological Effects
Rated 0 out of 5
0 Reviews1st Edition
by Edward A. Johnson (Editor), Kiyoko Miyanishi (Series Editor) Even before the myth of Prometheus, fire played a crucial ecological role around the world. Numerous plant communities depend on fire to generate species diversity in both time and space. Without fire such ecosystems would become sterile monocultures. Recent efforts to prohibit fire in fire dependent communities have contributed to more intense and more damaging fires. For these reasons, foresters, ecologists, land managers, geographers, and environmental scientists are interested in the behavior and ecological effects of fires. This book will be the first to focus on the chemistry and physics of fire as it relates to the ways in which fire behaves and the impacts it has on ecosystem function. Leading international contributors have been recruited by the editors to prepare a didactic text/reference that will appeal to both advanced students and practicing professionals.1st Edition

0 ReviewsUK ed. Edition
by Eduards Gomez (Author, Editor), Kristina Alvarez (Editor)
A forest fire is any uncontrolled, non-structure fire that occurs in the wilderness. Wildlife behavior is often complex and variably dependent on factors such as fuel type, moisture content in the fuel, humidity, wind speed, topology, geographic location and ambient temperature. Weather patterns, such as heat waves droughts can also have a dramatic impact on the onset and outcome of wildfires. Fire is sometimes essential for forest regeneration, however, it often destroys forests and has dire social and economic consequences. This book looks at the underlying causes of forest fires, their ecological effects and preventive strategies.UK ed. Edition
