Big Bend to burn
with computer help
United Press International
Big Bend National Park —
For the next several days, smoke.
will be rising over the Chisos
Basin area of Big Bend National
Park — a protective fire prog
rammed by a computer and car
ried out by park authorities.
Successful efforts for the past
several years to protect tourist
camp grounds from Fire has re
sulted in a build up of ground
brush. Now, according to park
spokesman Robert A. Huggins,
if a natural or arson fire starts
there is high risk of it getting out
of control.
The “prescribed burn” of ab
out 60 acres near the tourist cen
ters is to remove the under
growth safely while not scaring
the wilderness.
U.S. Forest Service Fire ex
pert Dan Warren, of Sante Fe.,
N.M., said the type of fire being
set is programmed by a com
puter.
“We tell the computer the
wind, temperature, humidity
and amount of moisture in the
(dead) brush. And we tell it what
we are trying to achieve with the
burn,” Warren said. “The com
puter will tell us how hot a Fire
we need and how long the flame
should be.”
You’ve Got 3 Chances to get
For the Chisos Basin Fire,
Warren said the most effective
burn would take place while the
temperature was above 50 de
grees but below 90 degrees.
Humidity should be between 5
and 25 percent, and winds
should be below 15 mph.
Also programmed into the
computer is the type of vegata-
tion being eliminated and the
time of year. He said in early
spring, for instance, dead brush
in that area would only have a 5
percent moisture content while
in other seasons the vegetation
would have a higher water con
tent. The lower the moisture
content, the hotter the Fire and
the taller the flame.
The length of the flame and
temperature of the Fire are the
critical elements, Warren said.
