Journal of Forestry, 1944
Abstract The rapid development and application of forest fire danger rating systems in the past decade on a country-wide basis has naturally given rise to many types of fire danger indexes. The author describes the relation among the five major types and shows the position of the factors that constitute each.

Predicting Fire Behaviour with Fire Danger Tables
Australian Forestry, 1968SUMMARY The factors used in the construction of McArthur's (1958) fire danger tables are discussed briefly. The use of the tables to estimate fire danger and predict fire behaviour is discussed, and the effects of fuel quantity, fuel types, slope, diurnal changes in fuel moisture content, recent rainfall, large fuel components, and a number of other ...

Developing Lebanon's fire danger forecast
International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2017Abstract Lebanon lacks a system for forecasting wildfire danger with the combined use of dynamic weather forecasts and comprehensive fire risk information (i.e., hazard and vulnerability). Accordingly, the aim of this study was to develop a new national fire danger forecast system for use as an operational fire management tool in Lebanon.

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1950
SO much good work has been done by the Airworthiness Authorities who, as a group, are the principal signatories to ICAO, that in certain transport category aircraft of recent vintage the chances are now reasonably remote of a fire occurring in flight, while the prospects of extinguishing it are roughly in inverse ratio to the chance of it occurring ...

Surgical fires, a clear and present danger
The Surgeon, 2010A surgical fire is potentially devastating for a patient. Fire has been recognised as a potential complication of surgery for many years. Surgical fires continue to happen with alarming frequency. We present a review of the literature and an examination of possible solutions to this problem.The PubMed and Medline databases from 1948 onwards were ...

The Oklahoma Fire Danger Model: An operational tool for mesoscale fire danger rating in Oklahoma
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2002This paper describes the Oklahoma Fire Danger Model, an operational fire danger rating system for the state of Oklahoma (USA) developed through joint efforts of Oklahoma State University, the University of Oklahoma, and the Fire Sciences Laboratory of the USDA Forest Service in Missoula, Montana.

Evapotranspiration estimation for fire danger models
Forest Ecology and Management, 2006A comparison was made between a dryness indexmeasured over an oak-grassland savannah and the KBDI index using a range of annual precipitation inputs. The original KBDI, using input of the actual mean annual precipitation, greatly underestimated fire risk of a oak-grassland savannah in Sierra Nevada foothills in California.

The OFIDIA Fire Danger Rating System
2015 10th International Conference on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing (3PGCIC), 2015Prevention is one of the most important stages in wildfire and other natural hazard management. Fire Danger Rating Systems (FDRSs) have been adopted by many countries to enhance wildfire prevention and suppression planning. With the aim to provide real-time fire danger forecasts and finer-scale fire behaviour analysis, an operational fire danger ...
