Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 2: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; October 1938 Exchange of ideas, even between good thinkers, is almost impossible unless there is a common fund of terms which mean the same thing to those concerned. The protection of forests from fire, like other growing fields of thought, suffers acutely from lack of precision in the words and ideas used. The author boldly attacks this evil and offers some con structive suggestions. It is hoped that others will follow. Progress and expression in any field of endeavor may be advanced through definition of the Scope of the field and through development of a concise and adequate terminology. Opportunities exist in the expanding field of forest protection for the improvement of terminology and for definition of the field. Forest-protection activities were largely neglected in the 1917 report of the committee on forest terminology, Society of American Foresters. Although forest protection is recognized as one of the five main branches of forestry, neither the term forest protection nor any of its accepted subdivisions are defined in the report. The purpose of this article is to attempt to clarify definitions and interrelationships in one subdivision of forest protection - fire. The fire glossary defines fire control as the entire group of activities including prevention, presuppression, and suppression, aiming to reduce the number Of fires and their spread, and to confine the area burned to an acceptable minimum at the lowest possible cost. See prevention, presuppression, fire suppression. Fire protection is de fined as synonymous with fire control, the latter being given prefer ence. The administrative organization of the Forest Service uses the term fire control ln referring to the entire field of fire work. Other administrative fire organizations, State and private, also commonly refer to their field of activity as fire control.

Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 21: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; October, 1960 Director, Division of Fire Control, U. S. Forest Service, Washington, D. C. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to consider the very important subject of railroad fire prevention. Fire preven tion, like the frequency of man-caused fires, has its ups and downs. Apparently we are in an up period nationally. All protection agencies taken collectively have had an upsurge in man-caused fires during the past 2 years. Many explanations are given for this but it would be difficult to be certain of the true cause. Apparently, there is no one cause but several. This up swing in man-caused fires has focused renewed attention on fire prevention. We are beginning some fire prevention research aimed at trying to determine the exact cause for fires, the reason behind the cause, and at trying to evaluate the various prevention efforts now used with all man-causes. We look forward to the time when application of increased knowledge and improved methods will greatly reduce fires within the forests. We hope railroad fires will follow this path. Recent experience on the national forests has been encouraging. Railroad fires have been of concern to the Forest Service since we were given the job of protecting the national forests nearly 60 years ago. Fires from railroad causes were very common in western national forests in the early days. Not much attention was paid to either suppression or prevention in those times. As we were able to greatly reduce the acreage burned and resulting damages through better fire control, we began to give more attention to preventing all fires. We recognize that the best fire is the one that never happens. This emphasizes prevention. In examining the fire record of the national forests for the past 10 years, I note that there has been a general reduction in railroad fires, but the pattern by regions and national forests is irregular. For example, for the 5-year period 1949-54 there were railroad fires on the national forests. For the next 5 years this had dropped to 604 or to nearly one-half.

Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 20: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; October 1959 When to expect fires often depends on the cause as much as on the fire danger at the time. Some causes concentrate fire starts during weekends and holidays, or out-of-work hours. Some are tied to the season, some to certain hours of the day. Prevalence of fires in one locality as compared to another sometimes means more hazardous fuels. If our records are good enough to show that, they can be used to guide hazard-reduction programs. The design of a fire prevention program is only as valid as the fire statistics on which it is based. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, 1953, Vol. 14: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control The most successful fire control job that can be accomplished is the prevention of fires. Fires such as those started by lightning and by air crashes, vehicle accidents, and enemy action in time of war cannot be prevented. However, the vast majority of man caused fires are susceptible to prevention efforts. The purpose of this article is to outline what procedures to establish and the methods to follow to assist in the prevention of fires. A brief background of the major uses of wild lands and their general relationship to fire occurrence will point up the Value of fire prevention and will aid in the preparation of a specific plan for a given unit.

Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 26: A Quarterly Periodical Devoted to Forest Fire Control; January, 1965 In patchy fuels, where timber or brush is inter spersed with open grassy areas, the effects of vortex turbulence may be extremely serious. Although the vortex wake will not reach the ground beneath a timber canopy, it may in the openings. Because the core usually remains above ground, the true wind direction at the surface is not parallel to the ground but slightly upward (fig. Thus both flames and burning embers tend to be swept upward as well as out. Thus vortex turbulence, compared with a natural gust of the same velocity, has a greater potential for triggering crowning and spot fires because flames and embers are driven up into the crowns.

Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, 1941, Vol. 5: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control This paper represents a method of approach to the fire problem on an area where severity of fires and resulting damage make its solution of paramount importance. The authors define the problem, analyze its elements, and present Specifications for reduction of losses to an endurable rate, both on individual watersheds and on the area as a whole. They provide a basis for future program planning in southern California. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
