Background
Bushfire smoke is a major ongoing environmental hazard in Australia. In the summer of 2019-2020 smoke from an extreme bushfire event exposed large populations to high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) pollution. In this study we aimed to estimate the effect of…

For five millennia, the coastal heathlands in Norway were managed with fire to improve grazing. The abandonment of this practice for the last ca. 70 years has resulted in biomass accumulation and increasing fire hazards. The present study analyses fire and rescue services’ (FRS…

The use of low-severity prescribed fires has been increasingly promoted to reduce the impacts from high-severity wildfires and maintain ecosystem resilience. However, the effects of prescribed fires on water quality have rarely been evaluated relative to the effects of wildfires…

Firebrand showers are known to result in massive destruction in large outdoor fires. A key missing piece is how these ignition scenarios may be influenced by firebrand showers in conjunction with external radiant heat that would be generated by nearly combustibles. The combined…
