In order for a fire to sustain itself, it needs three things: fuel, heat, and oxygen, with the disruption of just one of those causing the fire to extinguish. Water, sand, and carbon dioxide-based fire extinguishers are commonly used, but you’re probably familiar with blowing out a cand...
Fire frequency is often expressed as the fire rotation interval, which is the time required to burn the equivalent of a specified area. However, on many landscapes some areas receive more fires than other areas and thus a more precise measure is the fire return interval, which is the spatiall...

The needed approach to those times is the investments made beforehand in fire adapted communities and landscape resiliency. Still, these two actions cannot occur in a vacuum and wildfires will still occur, necessitating effective response actions. The focus must be on all three elements of the ...
The next section is divided into three subsections addressing operations research methodologies applied to fire suppression in the preparedness stage, the response stage, and integrated schemes comprising both stages. In the Appendix A, Appendix B and Appendix C there are summary tables describing the...
Firebending, one of the four elemental bending arts, is the pyrokinetic ability to control and produce fire. It is unique among the bending arts, as it is the only one in which the performer can generate the element. The first human firebenders lived in
There are three elements required for a fire, and they are fuel, oxygen, and energy or heat. These three elements comprise the classical “fire triangle” (Figure 27.1). This simplified representation of the combustion process has been used throughout the FR industry literature for many years....
Though progressive music is alive and well in the second decade of the third millennium, and 2016 already looks very promising in terms of new releases, the scene – now more than ever – needs to be supported if we really want it to survive. Read Full Post » A Light in the Black ...
The northern and central regions are the most affected by fires (Figure 1b) with a higher propensity to burn, as several areas have burned two to three times between 2001 and 2021, and a small fraction of pixels burned more than three times in this period. In southern regions, it is al...
This is accumulated sap and will burn long and slow. When breaking larger branches, avoid doing so over your knee — it's a good way to injure yourself. Place one end of the branch against a large rock and use the bottom of your boot and body weight. Another good method is to find...
