Author Description

Excerpt from Fire Management Notes, Vol. 37: An International Quarterly Periodical Devoted to Forest Fire Management; Spring 1976 First, forecasting unusually strong surface winds, especially those that are associated with the jet stream or abrupt changes in pressure patterns, is perhaps the most important single activity for the fire weather forecaster. Forecasting units 'may currently be doing this operational ly, but additional red flag emphasis should be given to these situations when they occur. Second, when fires start under these severe wind conditions, or if fires that are burning come under the influence of winds over 30 mi/h, the chances are good that they will continue to spread until the weather changes, or until they run out of fuel.
