Excerpt from Two Keys for Appraising Forest Fire Fuels

The proposed keys use criteria of size, quantity, and arrangement that can be de fined by rather simple observations. The sug gested terminology, which is completely new, defines these attributes in quantitative terms to the extent currently possible. Some dimen sions are based on fire behavior theory and drying regimes to be used in the National fire-danger Rating System, but many, at this stage, represent mainly experienced judgment.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new approach for characterizing forest fire fuels by presenting a set of concepts and terms used to describe fuel characteristics. These are grouped into size and shape of particles, the compactness, the vertical position, and finally, the horizontal continuity. A new way of assessing crowning potential and the rate of spread of forest fires is introduced and discussed. The author discusses the shortcomings of current fuel classification systems and presents a new approach based on objective measurement of specific fuel characteristics. The system is more flexible and versatile than the present system and uses a universal rating scale. The book explains how to use both keys to rate the rate of spread and crowning potential of fuels on the basis of readily observed characteristics without needing prior technical knowledge of vegetation or experience with fire. This system can help anyone from resource managers to firefighters to better understand fuels and make more informed decisions about forest fire management. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 9781528215442_0
