United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Editor’s note: On the eve of the 21st century, Fire Management Notes has changed its name to Fire Management Today, partly in response to many comments by readers over the years.
In 1936, when the journal was founded, its simple format and short, newsy articles suited its original name—Fire Control Notes. The journal changed its name to Fire Management in 1973 and then to Fire Management Notes in 1976 (see the story by Hutch Brown beginning on page 8). Since the 1960’s, the journal has steadily grown in size and improved in design (see the story by Delvin Bunton beginning on page 27). Today, the journal’s polished format and relatively extensive articles have rendered Notes in the name obsolete.
The journal remains committed to many of its original goals, outlined in the very first issue of Fire Control Notes by Roy Headley, former head of the USDA Forest Service’s Division of Fire Control (see his article re printed on page 6). One prominent goal is to help wildland fire profession als stay abreast of the latest developments in wildland fire management. That’s why the journal’s new name is Fire Management Today. Thanks go to Steve Barrett, a contributor to the journal and a consulting fire ecolo gist in Kalispell, MT, for suggesting the new name.
Fire Management Today is published by the Forest Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC. The Secretary of Agriculture has determined that the publication of this periodical is necessary in the transaction of the public business required by law of this Department.
Subscriptions ($13.00 per year domestic, $16.25 per year foreign) may be obtained from New Orders, Superintendent of Documents, P.O. Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954. A subscription order form is available on the back cover.

Until the 1970’s, contributors to Fire Control Notes often repeated the “orthodox” view, as one author approvingly called it, of “forest fires as an evil” (Marsh 1947). “In probably much less than 100 years,” another author confidently predicted, “conflagrations will be unknown” thanks to developments in fire control technique (Farmer 1942). For many, the relatively fire-free forests of northern Europe were the ideal. “What a contrast there is between man-caused fires in America and in Europe!” ob served the editor of Fire Control Roots of a western hemlock exposed by fire and erosion on what is now Washington’s Notes (Rachord 1937).

Volume 53-54 Figure 2—Number of pages per volume of Fire Management Today, volumes 25–59 (1964–99). All volumes have four issues except for volume 53–54, which has five. The spike in page numbers for volume 50 (1989), due to the journal’s extensive 50th-anniversary issues, dramatizes an upward trend. Since volume 25 (1964), the number of pages per issue has climbed from 16 to about 36, partly due to format changes to improve the journal’s readability, such as the introduction of larger print in volume 55 (1995).
