Fuels: Surface Fuel Model Descriptions - NWCG
2025年1月15日 · Land devoid of enough fuel to support wildland fire spread is covered by fuel model NB9. Such areas may include gravel pits, arid deserts with little vegetation, sand dunes, rock outcroppings, beaches, and so forth.
Fuels Management and Wildland Fire Fuel Reduction | WFCA
2024年11月19日 · Learn what Fuels Management is, how it works, and ways to mitigate fires through wildland fire fuel reduction from the team at Western Fire Chiefs Association. In wildland fires, fuel is a key component, providing the energy needed for ignition and spread.
Fuels Management - U.S. Department of the Interior
Fuels management builds wildfire resilience by reducing small trees, brush, dead branches, and limbs (called ladder fuels) which makes it less likely that future wildfires will torch an entire landscape. Alternately, in some landscapes, such as the Sonoran, Mojave, and Great Basin deserts, invasive plants have established.

2022年7月29日 · Fuels treatment, specifically prescribed fire and mechanical cutting, are key management techniques that can protect areas of high value, such as homes within the wildland urban interface, and restore important ecological processes.
Complete a fuels treatment effectiveness assessment into the Bureau approved planning and reporting system for all reportable wildfires that meet the criteria for fuel treatment effectiveness reporting.

The fuels topic page contains resources related to the study of fuels, including, but not limited to, fuel categories, fuel properties, fuel moisture, plant flammability, fuel availability, and fuel consumption.
Forest Service Manual(FSM) chapter 5105, defines fuel as combustible wildland vegetative materials, living or dead. FSM chapter 5150 on fuel management provides direction to evaluate, plan, and treat wildland fuel to control flammability and reduce resistance to control including
Wildland fuels are the dead and live biomass available for fire ignition and combustion (Albini 1976; Sandberg et al. 2001). Many fuel components comprise a fuelbed, and each component has unique properties that are be described by many character-istics, such as mineral content, specific gravity and heat content.
Wildland fire emissions, carbon, and climate: Modeling fuel consumption ...
2014年4月1日 · Consumption of fuel generates greenhouse gas and particulate emissions. We preent a synthesis of wildland fire fuel consumption. Consume and FOFEM are two models to estimate fuel consumption. Improved consumption models are needed for crowns, duff layers, and rotten logs. Information is lacking on black carbon residue remaining following fire.
