		She told the Tribune that the fire did what she's wanted do for five years; environmental restrictions and safety concerns, however, prevented the utility from reintroducing fire to an ecosystem that badly needs it.
		The fire is still active in the Mount Birregun area southwest of Cobungra near the Dargo River, according to reports from the Australian.

	Wildfire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fires tend to happen during the summer in times of drought and the fall in times of winds.
		In the case of the fires in southeastern France, the speed of the fire is estimated to be 3% to 8% of the speed of the wind, depending on the conditions (density and type of vegetation, slope).
		The proponents of these studies argue that areas without aggressive fire suppression policies have larger average fire sizes and greater average annual area burned and a longer interval between fires and that this is evidence of the effect of fire suppression.

		A fire storm in the coastal sage scrub, a common occurrence in the dry hillsides of southern California during the late summer and fall.
		rush fires in southern California typically occur during the drought months of summer and fall, the so-called "fire season." The native thickets of shrubs, known as chaparral (and coastal sage scrub), are tender dry by late summer and many species are especially combustible due to their high content of volatile terpene oils and resins.
		Although cypresses are generally killed in a fire, their woody cones reseed the charred hillsides with a new generation of seedlings; however, fires that are too frequent can be disastrous, particularly if the cypress have not had enough time to produce mature seed cones.

	KS Wild - Fire Restoration (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Fire history, the scale and intensity of past activities (logging, grazing, fire suppression), fuel conditions and vegetation types vary widely across the landscape.
		The short period of effective fire suppression in K-S forests (~50 years) and the similarity of fire severity patterns experienced in recent wildfire events to historic conditions argue for wider use of naturally-ignited wildfires in less-than-extreme weather conditions to accomplish forest restoration.
		This suggests that, in addition to using prescribed fires, permitting wildfires to burn under specific conditions is compatible with conservation of biological diversity.

		The Biscuit Fire threatened residential areas in the Illinois Valley (near the east side of the fire) and Agness (near the northwest pat of the fire).
		The fire did remind us of work that needs to be performed to improve the fire resistance of residences: managing vegetation around structures, retrofitting structures with fire resistant building materials and thinning dense, young stands in the rural interface areas.

		A wild fire is an undesirable fire occurring in the natural environment.

		An accurate weather forecast can mean life or death to a fire fighter and is also critical in protecting forest and range lands as well as the increasing number of homes in the wild land urban interface.

		The impact of the fires to the wild lands in Montana is reported by the National Interagency Fire Center to be 2,369 individual fires effecting 945,519 acres of land.
		Fires are a part of the natural life-cycle in the coniferous forests of the northern Rockies; in many burned areas regeneration is already happening.
		Re-seeding with native plants and trees, as well as the falling of dead trees in a crisscross pattern on steep hillsides prevents the errosion of forest topsoil, thereby protecting the integrity of terrain and watersheds.

		When fire does arrive on a large scale, we are reminded that it is one concern truly shared by all of us who live in the West.
		Adding to the risks are drought, dying trees, the buildup of vegetation as a result of long-standing fire-exclusion policies, and logging and land-use practices that have altered the forests' natural mix.
		If the recent fires and an understanding of the West's ecology can teach us anything, it is that every homeowner should prepare now for more fires to come.

		In fact, fire used as a tool at the correct time of year, in controlled situations can be very beneficial to many species of grasses, shrubs, and trees.
		In fact, there are people who study fires called "Fire Ecologists" who know how to set "prescribed fires" that are used to help restore areas to the natural vegetation while protecting people and their homes.
		Prescribed fires are set under very controlled situtations and there are ALWAYS lots of people around with fire trucks and other equipment to put out any fire that tries to get away.

	Fire Protective Coating - FX-WF Wild Fire Coating by Flame Seal Products Inc.
		The effectiveness of this method of protection is similar to Housewrap™ Fire Barrier Product because the coating “swells up” nearly 100 times in thickness when the heat of a fire approaches, therefore protecting and insulating the structure from the fire.
		FX-WF™ Wild Fire Coating is simply spray-applied with an airless paint sprayer over the surface of the entire structure or object to be protected.
		However, in a severe situation, FX-WF™ Wild Fire Coating can be coated in the path of an immediate threat, and, though wet, will still provide similar protection due to the drying effect that occurs as the heat of the oncoming fire approaches.
