Presentation showing effectiveness of mulching as a fuel treatment, resistance to fire spread in mulched corridors, probability of ignition, moisture dynamics in multched fuel beds, and sustained burning.
Presentation showing fire behaviour in known fuel loads, fire behaviour under high-end fire weather conditions, and to provide fire behaviour information for known debris loads to fire managers.

Tests were performed June 11-13th at Salmon Arm. We tested (1) Latitude Technologies, IONode100-004 with a Blackcomb Aviation, Bell 205++ and a Bambi-Max bucket and (2) Absolute Tracking Solutions FASTTrac with a Bell 212 helitank from Wildcat Helicopters and a Bambi-Max bucket. We used a differential survey grade GPS for ground points, a digital flow meter for water volume. Tracking system outputs for airborne points include volume dropped, drop start, drop end (Latitude only). We did 18 drops.
