The Forest Rangers keep accurate comparable records of the important factors of fire danger Item Info

The Forest Rangers keep accurate comparable records of the important factors of fire danger. The records of wind duff or wood moisture and the class of danger are plotted daily on a standard chart form. At Priest River additional records of fuel moisture reveal differences in inflammability in the full sun under half shade and under the full shade of a dense timber canopy." J.B. Thompson.
