Thermocouple Probe Orientation Affects Prescribed Fire Behavior Estimation
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2018Understanding the relationship between fire intensity and fuel mass is essential information for scientists and forest managers seeking to manage forests using prescribed fires. Peak burning temperature, duration of heating, and area under the temperature profile are fire behavior metrics obtained from thermocouple‐datalogger assemblies used to ...

Development of large vortices on prescribed fires
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1990A detailed set of data has been compiled on large fire whirlwinds occurring on prescribed burns conducted in Ontario. There appear to be two types of such whirlwinds: one occurs in pairs on the leeward side of the convection column and the other is created after the entire convection column begins to rotate.

PRESCRIBED FIRE: LIABILITY, REGULATION, AND ENDOGENOUS RISK
2002This 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
2006We 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
2008Every 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.

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
2017Prescribed 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.
