  • Federal Funding for Wildfire Control and Management
    Federal Funding for Wildfire Control and Management Ross W. Gorte Specialist in Natural Resources Policy July 5, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33990 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Federal Funding for Wildfire Control and Management Summary The Forest Service (FS) and the Department of the Interior (DOI) are responsible for protecting most federal lands from wildfires. Wildfire appropriations nearly doubled in FY2001, following a severe fire season in the summer of 2000, and have remained at relatively high levels. The acres burned annually have also increased over the past 50 years, with the six highest annual totals occurring since 2000. Many in Congress are concerned that wildfire costs are spiraling upward without a reduction in damages. With emergency supplemental funding, FY2008 wildfire funding was $4.46 billion, more than in any previous year. The vast majority (about 95%) of federal wildfire funds are spent to protect federal lands—for fire preparedness (equipment, baseline personnel, and training); fire suppression operations (including emergency funding); post-fire rehabilitation (to help sites recover after the wildfire); and fuel reduction (to reduce wildfire damages by reducing fuel levels). Since FY2001, FS fire appropriations have included funds for state fire assistance, volunteer fire assistance, and forest health management (to supplement other funds for these three programs), economic action and community assistance, fire research, and fire facilities. Four issues have dominated wildfire funding debates. One is the high cost of fire management and its effects on other agency programs. Several studies have recommended actions to try to control wildfire costs, and the agencies have taken various steps, but it is unclear whether these actions will be sufficient.

  • Combustion and Thermal Characteristics of Peat Fire in Tropical Peatland in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

It is important to understand peat fire and to establish more effective methods to control peat fire. In this paper, the results of field and laboratory research elucidate the combustion and thermal characteristics of peat fire. Field studies were carried out at 9 study plots in actual peat fire areas along the Trans Kalimantan Highway of Central Kalimantan in 2002. Laboratory analyses using a bomb calorimeter and TG-DTA were carried out to obtain low and high ignition temperatures and calorific values of various peat fire fuels. Results of field studies on weather conditions, temperatures in peat layers during fire, patterns of peat fire fronts, peat fire spreading speeds, fuel composition, moisture contents and fuel losses during fires are described in this paper. This study clarified the nature of fire movement and the smoldering process in an actual peat fire in tropical peatland. Based on our results, a more effective method for controlling peat fire can be developed.

    UNITED STATES P&VP-21 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE HORACE M. ALBRIGHT TRAINING CENTER Grand Canyon, Arizona FOREST FIRE CONTROL I. INTRODUCTION A. What is Fire Control 1. Fire Control is defined as all activities concerned with protection of the vegetative cover and structures from destruction by fire. These two fields of fire control operations are vital protection functions and one of considerable concern to area administrators. In this discussion we are primarily concerned with forest fire control, but the two cannot be separated for there are many structures scattered throughout Service areas. B. History of Fire Control 1. There is no honor attached to the detection and suppression of a fire, if you could have prevented it. A fire pre­ vented is a fire that does not have to be suppressed. Fire has always been considered a menace to Service areas. In reading fire records from the early days of the Service one will find prevention and suppression duties were given considerable attention. The Army and other personnel assigned protection duties were constantly on the watch for fires. It was an integral part of their responsibilities. Fire is a dangerous threat to the primeval values we are relied upon to protect for the enjoyment of this and future generations. When an area with a high fire potential is subjected to the ever increasing visitor travel now in evidence, added pre­ vention programs and staffing are required to provide the protection necessary to hold man-caused fires within allowable standards. Fire prevention and suppression in many ways adds to protection and workload problems.

  • Fire and Animal Behavior
    Proceedings: 9th Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference 1969 Komarek, E.v. 1969. Fire and animal behavior. Pages 160-207 in E.V. Komarek (conference chariman). Proceedings Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference: No.9. Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference. 9. Tall Timbers Research Station, Tallahassee, FL. Fire and Animal Behavior E. V. KOMAREK, SR. Tall Ti'mbers Researcb Station Tallabassee, Florida , THE REACTIONS and relationships of animals to fire, the charcoal black burn, the straw-colored and later the green vegetation certainly attracted the attention of primitive man and his ancestors. In "Fire-and the Ecology of iV'lan" I proposed that man himself is the product of a fire environment-"pre-'man prirrtates as well as early Ulan inhabited fire environrnents and had to be 'fire­ selected' ... to live in such environments." (Komarek, 1967). Therefore, man's ultimate survival, as had been true with other ani­ mals that live in fire environments, depends upon a proper under­ standing of fire and the relationships of animals and plants to this element. 1V10dern literature, particularly in the United States, has been so saturated with the reputed dangers of forest fires to animals that he has developed a deep seated fear of all fires in nature. In this nation, the average individual is only beginning to realize the proper place of fire and fire control in forest, grassland and field. Unfortunately, much knowledge on fire and animal behavior that was common in­ formation to the American Indian, pioneers, and early farm and ranch people has been lost though in some parts of the ·world a large body of this knowledge still exists.
