Heat acclimatization during seasonal wildfire suppression
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine heat acclimatization across a 4-month fire season in the western United States. Methods: Wildland firefighters (WLFF) (n =12) and non-WLFFs (n =14) completed a 60-min heat stress trial (treadmill walking at 50% peak VO2) in a climate controlled …

Optimizing Wildfire Suppression: A branch-and-price-and-cut approach
In periods of intense, synchronous wildfire activity, fire system managers must make rapid fire prioritization decisions over a disperse geographic area with limited suppression resources. This thesis defines the Wildfire Suppression and Crew Assignment Problem, which optimizes resource allocation …

The effect of random and spatially explicit lightning and human-caused ignitions on simulated burn probabilities at small scales
… goal was to assess the difference between annual wildfire burn probability (BP) generated from simulation models using random ignitions versus spatially explicit ignitions for wildland urban interface (WUI) areas and designated wilderness in the Rocky Mountain West, and infer whether one may be …

An evaluation of historical fire occurrence, drought, and the El Niño southern oscillation in the greater Cross Timbers region, U.S.A
A concern over wildfire occurrence, and its relationship to drought and a changing climate has brought increased focus to the interface between the public and fire. Multiple factors, including an increase in fuel loading from decades of continuous fire suppression, changes in land use and …
