Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, 1969, Vol. 30: A Quarterly Periodical Devoted to Forest Fire
In the past decade, prescribed burning by many land management organizations has increased in both size and cost. Complexity has also increased because of accumulations of untreated logging slash and trends toward summer burning.
As prescribed burning has increased, so has the need for tools to accomplish such burning safely and efficiently. The Missoula Equipment Develop ment Center is currently developing several tools for prescribed burning. One is a high-volume sprayer for ground application of retardants.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book documents how Presuppression manning and re-weather observations, while distinct entities, are directly related. These two operations are both related to the re-danger rating index. Fire-weather observations are used to calculate the danger index; the index, in turn, is used to determine presuppression manning requirements. Therefore, inaccurate re weather readings can indirectly result in erroneous manpower requirements. The book delves deep into the most common equipment problems associated with the measurement of three key variables-fuel moisture, relative humidity, and windspeed. Focusing on the interrelation between presuppression manning and re-weather observations, the author brings to light the fact that improper maintenance habits can mean the difference between a small re and a conflagration.
