No 320634, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Forest fires have taken and continue to take a tragic toll in timber burned, wild animals and birds destroyed, scenic and other intangible values ruined, and human lives lost. This bibliography is concerned with the economic aspects of the forest fire problem in the United States and Canada. It is limited to references on losses which can be measured in monetary terms, on the recognition and evaluation of these losses, on the relation between protection costs and potential damage, and to statistics of public and private protective agencies. Articles on insurance and controlled burning are included only if they have a specific bearing on one of these phases of the subject. Call numbers following the citations are those of the U. S Department of Agriculture Library unless otherwise noted.
