    To be published in W inter 2010 issue of Fire M anagement Today, Vol. 70, No. 1 W ildland Fire Behavior Case Studies and the 1938 Honey Fire Controversy Martin E. Alexander and Stephen W . Taylor Dr. Marty Alexander is a senior fire behavior research officer with the Canadian Forest Service, Northern Forestry Centre, and an adjunct professor of wildland fire science and management in the Department of Renewable Resources, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada. Steve Taylor is a research scientist with the Canadian Forest Service, Pacific Forestry Centre, Victoria, BC, Canada. Over the past 90 years, fire research has contributed to our understanding of wildland fire behavior through laboratory and field experiments, physical and empirical modeling, numerical simulations, analyses of individual fire reports, and wildfire case studies. Although basic research on combustion is essential to a full understanding of fire behavior, such research would not be very useful without actual field experience gained through case study documentation (Brown 1959). In general terms, what is a case study? Wikipedia (<http://www.wikipedia.org/>) proposes that case studies —provide a systematic way of looking at events, collecting data, analyzing information, and reporting the results.“ W ith the renewed interest in carrying out research on active wildfires (e.g., Lentile and others 2007a), it‘s worth reexamining what makes for a good case study. To this end, this article summarizes the findings from the case study of the controversial Honey Fire of 1938, originally published in Fire Control Notes by Olsen (1941)–one of the first comprehensive case studies of a wildland fire undertaken by fire behavior researchers.

The Bravest came running from far and from near, And raced to the rig, quickly donning their gear. And I in my bunkers, my coat and my boots, Clicked onto the CAD to map out the route. Down at the corner of Hancock and Polk, The dispatcher reported a house filled with smoke. We arrived on location to the reported address, And I did my 360 to size-up and assess. Smoke poured from the windows, from top floor on down, Yet up on the roof there was none to be found. I established command and gave out the orders, Ladder 8 took the roof, Engine 5 grabbed the water. So up to the rooftop Ladder 8 raised a ladder, And climbed to the top to check out the matter.
