Book excerpt: Smoke from wildland fire presents a serious and growing concern. Mirroring global trends in recent decades, many areas of the US are experiencing increasing wildfire size, severity, and frequency. The health hazard of smoke from wildland fire has been well-documented and can be orders of magnitude higher than the hazard presented by actual flames. As the size and severity of wildfires have increased, smoke has at times affected cities hundreds of miles from the source. Amid increasing smoke exposure from wildfires, calls for fuels reduction treatments have also increased. However, treatments such as prescribed fire and natural ignitions that are managed for resource benefits also produce smoke and elicit similar health concerns as wildfire smoke. These treatments can reduce overall smoke exposure by decreasing the risk of more severe, hard to control wildfires in the long-term, but their implementation often depends on public support, as well as public tolerance for the smoke they produce. With exposure to wildland fire smoke projected to further increase there is a clear need for efforts to better mitigate or adapt to smoke impacts in high-risk areas. Such efforts rely on an understanding of how people perceive, plan for, and respond to smoke. This synthesis compiles published scholarly literature on how individuals perceive wildland fire smoke to offer an overview of current knowledge on wildland fire smoke perceptions. It is intended to serve as a documentation of the scope, parameters, and gaps of research to date in this field.

Book Synopsis Public Perceptions of Smoke from Wildfire, Prescribed Fire, and Fire Use by : Stacey Sargent Frederick
Download or read book Public Perceptions of Smoke from Wildfire, Prescribed Fire, and Fire Use written by Stacey Sargent Frederick and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managers and policy-makers across broad disciplines and organizations are calling for a better understanding of public opinion on natural resource issues. One such issue is that of fire and its role in the management of our forests and rangelands. Public perceptions of fuel reduction techniques, with a particular emphasis on using prescribed fire as a management tool, have been under study for almost a decade. However, limited research on public opinions regarding smoke from these wildfires, fuel reduction fires, and private-use fires has been completed, even though the importance of smoke has been well-observed by managers through the frequent concerns expressed over smoke. This thesis begins to address two of the information gaps about smoke. First, a multi-location case study provides information on factors that may affect acceptance of smoke from various types of fire. Second, a longitudinal panel-study reviews how public perceptions of smoke and agencies change after an active fire season year.

This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Wildfire Coordinating Group provides national leadership to enable interoperable wildland fire operations among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners. Primary objectives include: Establish national interagency wildland fire operations standards. Recognize that the decision to adopt standards is made independently by the NWCG members and communicated through their respective directives systems; Establish wildland fire position standards, qualifications requirements, and performance support capabilities (e.g. training courses, job aids) that enable implementation of NWCG standards; Support the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy goals: to restore and maintain resilient landscapes; create fire adapted communities; and respond to wildfires safely and effectively; Establish information technology (IT) capability requirements for wildland fire; and Ensure that all NWCG activities contribute to safe, effective, and coordinated national interagency wildland fire operations. The challenge of minimizing the impacts of smoke on the public while expanding the role of fire in land management has never been greater, as air quality standards tighten and the wildland-urban interface expands with people looking to live in natural environments with clean air. Recent dramatic increases in the average number of acres burned by wildfire per year have led to increased awareness that wildfire smoke impacts are a reality that must be addressed. Prescribed fire, a vital tool to improve ecosystem health and lessen the potential impacts of wildfire, is gaining support even among unlikely allies such as clean air agencies. But this tentative support will only continue and expand if fire practitioners commit to continuously learning and applying the best science and methods for protecting air quality as well as emphasizing public communications and outreach to address concerns. In the near future, changes in climate leading to shifting ecosystems and fire regimes will provide new challenges. This edition of the "Smoke Management Guide for Prescribed Fire" builds on previous versions with updated knowledge of fire and air quality science, policy, and tools. New concepts presented for the first time include chapters on smoke management communications, public perceptions of smoke from wildland fire, wildland fire and climate change, and the practical use of meteorological tools and indices for smoke management. This guidebook will serve to educate current and future generations of fire practitioners and smoke managers by building upon the good work of earlier efforts.
