Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 25 This understanding triggered a method of creating, along a control line, a microclimate that might bring crown fires out of the treetops. Then effective attack with conventional control equipment would be pos sible. In situations where advance deployment of forces can be made, some lessening of the intensity of the fire head may result even when complete success is not achieved. Crown fires moving in natural or planted stands of red, white, and jack pine constitute an immediate and growing fire control problem in the Lake States. Open ings of 50 to 150 feet wide provided by roadways, power lines, and fire lanes provide little hindrance to progress of such fires if the cover burns to the border of the opening. Flaming brands of cones and branches blow freely across the open; updrafts carry burning materials for substantial distances across the openings. Many of these brands rise vertically from intensely burning fuels and are carried aloft and over the tops; however, many more are cast horizontally and only short distances.
