UAVs for wildland fires

Autonomous Systems: Sensors, Vehicles, Security, and the Internet of Everything, 2018
In the last decade, research was conducted to develop measurement solutions dedicated to forest fires and based on image processing and computer vision. Significant progress was achieved in developing such tools for fire propagation in controlled laboratory environments. However, these developments are not suitable for outdoor unstructured environments.

Wildland Fire Behaviour

2021
Wildland fires have an irreplaceable role in sustaining many of our forests, shrublands and grasslands. They can be used as controlled burns or occur as free-burning wildfires, and can sometimes be dangerous and destructive to fauna, human communities and natural resources.

Fitness for Wildland Fire Fighters

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1981
In brief: Forest Service fire-fighting crews were tested for aerobic fitness, muscular strength and endurance, and body fat. They were also tested on various work tasks such as building a fireline and carrying a 45-lb load, which were chosen to represent common fire-fighting tasks.

Wildland Fire Dynamics

2022
Wildland fires are among the most complicated environmental phenomena to model. Fire behavior models are commonly used to predict the direction and rate of spread of wildland fires based on fire history, fuel, and environmental conditions; however, more sophisticated computational fluid dynamic models are now being developed. This quantitative analysis

The Evolution of a WILDLAND Forest FIRE FRONT

The Visual Computer, 2005
The rate of the spread and shape of a forest fire front is a problem that has not been thoughtfully studied from a computer graphics perspective. Here, using physically based computer graphics modeling, we propose a model for the simulation of wildland fires over 3D complex terrain.

Resource Sharing for Control of Wildland Fires

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2013
Wildland fires (or wildfires) occur on all continents except for Antarctica. These fires threaten communities, change ecosystems, destroy vast quantities of natural resources and the cost estimates of the damage done annually is in the billions of dollars.

On the time to first spotting in wildland fires

Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2019
Protecting human life and property from wildfires is a primary concern to wildland fire management agencies.

Wildland fire limits subsequent fire occurrence

International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2015
Several aspects of wildland fire are moderated by site- and landscape-level vegetation changes caused by previous fire, thereby creating a dynamic where one fire exerts a regulatory control on subsequent fire. For example, wildland fire has been shown to regulate the size and severity of subsequent fire.
