Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores a vital aspect of forest fire managementâ� �predicting and measuring fire danger. The author presents a system for quantifying fire danger, a critical innovation at the time of publication. He emphasizes that forest fire control efforts were often hampered by vague, subjective assessments of risk. Prior to this system, fire danger was often categorized using terms like â� �"badâ� �, â� �"fairly badâ� �, or â� �"not so badâ� �, leading to inconsistent and inadequate preparation for fire suppression. The book details a comprehensive approach, meticulously examining the factors that contribute to fire danger, including fuel moisture content, wind velocity, vegetation condition, and the season of the year. It emphasizes the need for precise measurement of these variables, illustrating how even small variations in these factors can drastically affect the ease of ignition and the rate of fire spread. The author then outlines a method for integrating these measurements using a "fire danger meter," allowing for a standardized and quantifiable assessment of fire risk. This book provides a detailed description of the tools and techniques required for establishing a fire danger station, including the construction of a weighing shelter and the use of various instruments for measuring fuel moisture, wind, and rainfall. The text also includes instructions for observers responsible for taking and recording these measurements. The book highlights the importance of accurate and consistent data collection, emphasizing that the effectiveness of fire control ultimately hinges on the reliability of these measurements. The book's insights provide a valuable blueprint for understanding and mitigating the risk of forest fires, a crucial task for protecting valuable forest resources. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781527809734_0
