	Is your home at risk from wildfires?
		Cohen points out that homes are at risk from two types of wildfires; surface fires, which burn the dead, dry material on the forest floor, and crown fires, which consume whole trees, often sending burning embers raining down on not yet burning parts of the forest.
		Cohen recently studied homes that did and did not burn during the Los Alamos, New Mexico Wildfires in May. He found that some homes were more ignition resistant than others.
		Cohen believes this is because the house did not have gutters collecting pine needles, which could help ignite the eave edge of the house.

	Home Losses in the Cerro Grande/ Los Alamos Fire: Fire Protection Efforts Begin at Home (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Cohen has long been interested in the issue of home wildfire losses in the urban/wildland interface zone (the "I-zone"), and is the architect of the Structure Ignition Assessment Model (SIAM).
		Cohen's research concludes that home losses can be effectively reduced by focusing hazard reduction efforts on the home and its immediate surroundings.
		Cohen's photographs of Los Alamos reveal that when the wildfire entered and burned through the town it was not a high-intensity crown fire, but instead, was a low-intensity surface fire.

	scientist
		A scientist is a person who is expert in an area of science and who uses scientific methods in research.
		Mathematical discoveries generally appear to be arrived at differently than scientific ones, and experiments as they are usually conceived are unable to supply mathematical proof.
		Yet the class of people called "scientists" includes theorists who never do experiments, and even pure experimentalists often employ mathematics and deduction to arrive at their conclusions.

		However, Cohen's research seems to indicate that the principal cause of home losses during wildfires isn't necessarily the buildup of fuels.
		Key elements in a structure's ignitability are flammable roofs; burnable vegetation, such as ornamental trees and shrubs, close to the house; the lack of tempered-glass or double-paned windows; and the lack of 1/8-inch (0.3-centimeter) mesh to keep fronds from entering openings in the structure.
		Cohen further stresses the importance of the conditions that exist when a wildfire is raging.

	American Lands Alliance - Fire Policy Statement 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Scientists have collected evidence determining that the primary causes of increasing fire intensity and severity are the past century’s federal land management policies promoting aggressive firefighting, commercial logging, livestock grazing, and road building.
		Fire ecologists and most forest scientists agree that long term ecological restoration with careful fire reintroduction – not increased commodity resource extraction or aggressive fire suppression – holds the best hope of preventing future large-scale severe wildfires in fire dependent ecosystems of the interior West.
		Jack Cohen, research scientist at the U.S. Forest Service’s Fire Sciences Lab in Missoula, Montana, has demonstrated that to reduce fire risks in the urban/wildland interface zone, removing fuels from within 40 meters of a structure and reducing the flammability of the structures are more effective and efficient than landscape wide thinning.

		For Cohen, that began in 1999, when he presented findings of a study he was conducting in Canada about how forest fires destroy homes.
		Within a week of his speech, Cohen learned environmental groups were citing his study in their arguments against logging.
		They suggested Cohen had concluded there was no reason to log in national forests at all, since no amount of logging or thinning there would determine whether a house survived a fire.

		Cohen and his colleagues placed sections of simulated wooden wall at distances of 10, 20 and 30 meters from the study plot to be ignited.
		As a scientist, Cohen says, the politics of fire are immaterial to him, insofar as he only wants to see the problem of residential fires caused by wildland fire activity solved through increased public awareness.
		What primarily concerns Cohen is that politics not hinder his—or anyone else’s—ability to solve what he perceives as the main problem at hand, which is houses being destroyed in wildland fires.

		If your house is hard to ignite and there is adequate distance between it and the fire, there’s relatively little chance that the flames will radiate enough heat for a long enough time to cause the house to catch fire.
		Cohen points out that even wooden siding takes a few minutes to build up enough heat to ignite from flames several yards away - and up to 10 minutes from 120 feet.
		Cohen draws a circle 100 to 200 feet around a house and calls it “the home ignition zone.” (Structures attached to the house, including decks and carports, are considered part of the house, he adds.) That ignition zone is your critical area of defense.

		Instead, most scientists use the terms "stand-replacing" or "high-severity fires," acknowledging that wildfire plays an essential role.
		Jack Cohen, a scientist at the Forest Service's Fire Sciences Laboratory in Missoula, discovered the best way to protect homes and property is to clear vegetation within 10 meters of buildings and install a metal or other non-flammable roof.
		Cohen's findings demonstrate that logging miles distant from rural or urban communities does not reduce fire threats to communities.

		In a way, Stewart and Cohen should be praised for using so many examples from science fiction, but, at the same time, they give very short shrift to the notion that some SF writers might be using aliens for literary/metaphoric purposes, rather than just as high-school-biology-class exercises in designing lifeforms.

		Sean Cosgrove, the Sierra Club's land-protection program's representative in Washington, D.C., and other environmental advocates like to cite the work of Forest Service scientist Jack Cohen, who concluded after many experiments that the best fire prevention consists of clearing a quarter-mile area around people's homes.
		Cohen argues that if government officials pursued this course, they would stop fires from burning residential areas because there would be no fuel to feed the flames.
		But many politicians reject this idea, saying forest fires have become so big that they stretch for miles regardless of the fuel in their path.
