PRESCRIBED FIRE: LIABILITY, REGULATION, AND ENDOGENOUS RISK

2002
This paper compares the incentive effects of strict liability and negligence rules when timing of activity affects environmental risk. The model is developed in the context of prescribed fire as a land management input, with an extension to the related problem of wildfire risk mitigation through vegetation management.

Count Data Models of Prescribed Fire Escapes

2006
We specify several count data models, parameterizing the probability densities in terms of their means for easier comparison between models. In addition, we derived a correction of these probability densities for differences in sample sizes, which is a contribution to the count data literature as far as we are aware. We then empirically implement these

Prescribed fire: Tool and risk

2008
Every year, thousands of hectares of forest burn in Europe and more precisely in the Mediterranean basin. For fire prevention, prescribed fire is a tool which is more and more used, in particular in France, within the framework of the Defence of the Forest against Fires. The operating staff is near to the fire during the prescribed fire.

Adapting to fire in a warming climate: towards global assessment of prescribed grazing and prescribed fire

Whilst global burned area continues to decline, recent climate warming has led to an increase in the occurrence and intensity of extreme fires. Humanity must adapt to this new reality. Two proposed management options are a) prescribed livestock grazing, and b) prescribed fire use. Both methods promise cost-efficient means to reduce fire intensity, fire-

A micro-UAS to Start Prescribed Fires

2017
Prescribed fires have many benefits, but existing ignition methods are dangerous, costly, or inefficient. This paper presents the design and evaluation of a micro-UAS that can start a prescribed fire from the air, while being operated from a safe distance and without the costs associated with aerial ignition from a manned aircraft.
