Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. For generations, forest managers have been charged with the difficult task of managing fire-prone forests while trying to preserve timber and minimize damage from forest fires. This book delves into research on the impact of fire control methods such as slash treatment, reline mechanization, and chemical retardants. The author presents statistics and case studies to support the findings that through the use of chemical fire retardants on fire lines, the speed and efficiency of controlled back burning and spot fire prevention is greatly increased. Chemical retardants have also proven to be an effective alternative to hand tools in constructing fire breaks. The book also explores the broader environmental effects of fire control, including the effect of fire retardants on the growth of plants and the survival of wildlife in forests. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
