 in Nevada. USDA For. Serv. Res. Pap. INT-219, 12 p. Intermt. For. 

 and Range Exp. Stn. , Ogden, Utah 84401. 



Thirty prescribed burns were attempted in pinyon-juniper woodlands from 

 fall 1974 to fall 1976. These attempts were made out of fire season, during 

 varied atmospheric conditions, and in several pinyon-juniper communities. 

 An analysis of the successful burns provided us with a method for predicting 

 burning success from windspeed, air temperature, and vegetation cover. An 

 igniting technique is also discussed.
