Answering this question has been surprisingly difficult, but it is important information for builders selecting high-performance fire-resistive materials and for scientists conducting computer simulations that investigate fires. http://www.huliq.com/11/69866/new-method-test-fireproofing-material#comments Science fires materials Fri, 03 Oct 2008 06:53:10 -0500 harminka 69866 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/69309/study-reveals-homeowner-perceptions-fire-prone-areas Most residents in fire-prone communities surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest have taken steps to protect their homes from wildland fires, according to a U.S. Forest Service study completed this summer. http://www.huliq.com/11/69309/study-reveals-homeowner-perceptions-fire-prone-areas#comments Science fires forests Homeowners Fri, 26 Sep 2008 01:32:54 -0500 harminka 69309 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/68980/sensor-system-runs-electricity-generated-trees MIT researchers and colleagues are working to find out whether energy from trees can power a network of sensors to prevent spreading forest fires. http://www.huliq.com/11/68980/sensor-system-runs-electricity-generated-trees#comments Science fires forest fires Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:21:40 -0500 harminka 68980 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/68127/report-reveals-communication-needs-recreation-use-during-fires The effectiveness of the media to inform the public during evacuations and wildland fire effects on recreation are some topics addressed in a U.S. Forest Service report published this month that is a compilation of 17 studies on the social science aspects of fires. http://www.huliq.com/11/68127/report-reveals-communication-needs-recreation-use-during-fires#comments Science fires Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:20:27 -0500 harminka 68127 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/64883/landscape-study-may-offer-solutions-fire-managers A fire is currently burning through a study area where projections were made about fire behavior about 2 years ago.
