41. Pravda.RU Forest Fires In Yakutia
    Seventeen new forest fires have broken out in the republic of Sakha /Yakutia/ overthe past 24 hours, the Far Eastern Forest Protection Aviation Base reported  
    http://english.pravda.ru/region/2002/08/20/34821.html
    
    Extractions: As of today, 63 fires are burning on the territory of the republic, which is famous for its diamonds. Some of the fires are raging on the territory of a local nature reserve. "The fires keep getting bigger and bigger," said a source in the forest protection base. "Fire has swept across an aggregate space of 15,000 hectares over the past 24 hours only." In all since the beginning of the fire-hazardous season in May, the republic has registered 765 forest fires.

42. Pravda.RU Forest Fires Raging In Russia
    293 forest fires are currently raging in Russia, 85 of them appeared duringthe previous day. The Moscow region has 24 registered forest fires.

    Extractions: The Moscow region has 24 registered forest fires. 88 fires are reported in North-Western Russia. When touching upon the situation in Siberia, Krylov pointed out that Tyva (an East Siberian republic bordering on Mongolia) was facing difficulties, because of 36 fires. The weather in the republic remains very hot (36-38 degrees Centigrade) and dry.

Home Page FOREST FIRES Site Map Fighting forest and bush fires involves very large expenditures by communities and governments and the after-effects of large fires are generally felt for many years. Wild fires result in extensive damage to vegetation, human settlements and industries, along with closures of roads, railways and airports, evacuations of people, disruption or death of domestic animals and wildlife and occasional loss of human life. They can also create significant regional problems such as occurred in 1994 when fire razed over five million hectares of bush, plantation and forest in Indonesia, generating thick haze which severly affected Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam. At times visibility was reduced to as low as 500 metres, disrupting air transport, causing poor air quality and an increase in eye irritation and respiratory problems. Early identification of high fire hazard enables preventive or mitigating measures to be taken. As a result of research conducted over the past several decades, reliable techniques now exist for estimating the probability of forest fire outbreaks on the basis of meteorological conditions. Forecasts of high forest fire risk, made a day or two in advance, are of great value in initiating preventive measures such as forest closures, restrictions on logging and banning of open-air burning as well as in alerting and pre-positioning fire fighting personnel and warning the population. During active fires, wind, precipitation and humidity forecasts for fire sites enable fire-fighting crews to anticipate fire movement and behaviour, thereby increasing their efficiency and effectiveness and reducing overall costs.

    Extractions: Forest Fires in Indonesia Indonesia has about 1.43 million square kilometres of tropical forests and the largest area of rainforest after Brazil. Like Brazil, it is struggling with the delicate, difficult balance between its forests' commercial potential and its ecological importance. Numerous small-scale ground fires have been caused by farmers and others clearing the land, in anticipation of the rains. Due to the prolonged drought and the very dry climatic conditions, these fires have rapidly spread out of control. Numerous fires have been burning on the islands of Java, Kalimantan, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Irian Jaya, causing heavy air pollution in several countries in South East Asia, including Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Thailand. The smoke has reached as far north as the Philippines and as far south as Australia. Indonesia, which comprises 13,700 islands and which straddles 5,000 kilometres of the equator, occupies a total land area of 1.919,445 square kilometres (Km²). The equatorial climate, combined with rich volcanic soil, gives Indonesia a lush, fertile character. Indonesia's population of over 200 million occupies 6,000 of the 13,700 islands which make up the country. During September and October 1991, a series of huge fires ravaged more than 500 Km² of tropical forests in southern Kalimantan and Sumatra. Environmentalists say that many of the fires broke out in areas degraded by excessive logging, where the debris left behind is easily combustible. Numerous concessions to logging companies have alarmed conservationists.

Forecast trajectories and AVN model meteorological maps are being produced for the Southeast Asia area in support of air quality issues related to the recent forest fires. Starting height Trajectory starting at model forecast hour... 10 m AGL 500 m AGL 1500 m AGL CAUTION - Trajectory origins were arbitrarily chosen and are listed below. There may or may not be fires at these origins. Forecast forward trajectories are computed using meteorological fields from the latest (00, 06, 12 or 18 UTC) NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) AVN model run. The 36-h forecast trajectories begin 12, 24 and 36 hours after the AVN initialization time, at three altitudes, 10 m, 500 m, and 1500 m AGL. On the GIF maps, trajectory origins are denoted by circle-enclosed asterisks and latitude-longitude lines are at 5 degree intervals. The trajectories originate at the following sites:

Particulate concentration (PM10) (ug/m3) forecast maps based on the forest fires burning in Mexico and Central American are summarized in the table above. Concentrations are given as 6-hourly averages out to 48 hours. The HYSPLIT model is first run for the previous two days using a series of short-term forecasts obtained from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Avation Model (AVN) to create a residual plume for initialization. Pollutant particles are then tracked and dispersed based on current forecast meteorological fields (out to 48 hours) obtained from NCEP's AVN model using the 0000 or 1200 UTC forecasts.

The image, recorded on June 25, 1995, shows fire spots in red and smoke plumes in yellow. Forest fires burning in Canada's Northwest Territories in 1995 contributed to high levels of carbon monoxide more than 2,000 miles away in the eastern United States, according to a study in today's issue of Science "Fires can have a far reach," said Gerhard Wotawa, a scientist at the University of Agricultural Sciences in Vienna, Austria. "Together with local and regional manmade pollution sources, the fires also contributed to increased ozone levels." An extended heat wave occurred during the summer of 1995 and particularly high ozone concentrations were recorded in the eastern United States. Before this study, the sources of the pollution were never satisfactorily explained, said Wotawa. The scientists believe plumes of carbon monoxide and ozone from the forest fires were transported to the eastern United States on the tails of cold fronts - a phenomenon that Wotawa says is fairly common.

This article originally appeared on the eNature.com Web site. Into the Flames Thanks to the Disney classic Bambi, many Americans carry a distinct image with them of the way animals react to wildfires: thousands of terrified creatures dashing madly for a river as a wall of flames approaches. However, this image is hardly accurate. Birds have the most obvious advantage: the ability to fly to safe locations when flames appear. The fact that most fires strike during late summer or fall, after breeding season, means that few species of birds still have flightless young or nests to protect. Last year's Los Alamos fire was an exception. Because it occurred in mid-May, many nests with eggs or young birds were lost. Large mammals can usually stay ahead of fires by walking. Even huge blazes seldom move faster than two miles per hour, so these animals can safely flee the advancing flames. Also, most fires don't burn evenly across a landscape, and animals can seek refuge in the areas of unburned terrain.

This makes him a true Prophet in the Biblical tradition. If we can accept, for instance, that fire is hot and water is wet and both are natural forces following set laws, we should not be surprised if we are burned by the flames of a fire or drown in the depths of water. The consequence being the judgment. Just as we cannot blame others for our own acts of foolishness our loving Creator should not be blamed for our foolish actions. In this context judgment is not a blame. It is an objective consequence within the laws of Creation. Within these just laws we are our own judge and it is we who condemn ourselves to our circumstances.
