Forest fire growth calculator / [R.S. McAlpine].: Fo29-2/35-1986E-PDF
"Since the introduction of the interim edition of the Canadian Forest Fire Behavior Prediction (FBP) System (Lawson et al. 1985), behavior prediction has been used in a variety of ways to aid in decision making. Although the process of predicting fire behavior is not complex, the use of tables and computers is not always feasible in the field. As an alternative, a pocket-sized slide-rule calculator (Fig. 1) was developed at the Northern Forestry Centre for estimating forest fire growth. This Note describes the operation of the fire growth calculator (FCC) for fast field application of the FBP System"--P. [1].
