The Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index(FWI) System consists of six components that account for the effects of fuel moisture and weather conditions on fire behavior. The first three components are fuel moisture codes, which are numeric ratings of the moisture content of the forest floor and other dead organic matter. Their values rise as the moisture content decreases. There is one fuel moisture code for each of three layers of fuel : litter and other fine fuels; loosely compacted organic layers of moderate depth; and deep, compact organic layers. The remaining three components are fire behavior indices, which represent the rate of fire spread, the fuel available for combustion, and the frontal fire intensity; these three values rise as the fire danger increases.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - Canadian%20Forest%20Fire%20Weather%20Index%20System

La Méthode canadienne de l'indice forêt météo (IFM) est formée de six composantes qui tiennent compte des effets de la teneur en eau des combustibles et des conditions météorologiques sur le comportement du feu. Les trois premières composantes sont des indices d'humidité des combustibles; ce sont des valeurs numériques de la teneur en eau de la litière et d'autres matières organiques mortes. Leur valeur augmente à mesure que la teneur en eau diminue. Il existe un indice d’humidité des combustibles pour chacune des trois couches de combustibles : litière et autres combustibles légers, couches organiques peu tassées de moyenne épaisseur, et épaisses couches organiques compactes. Les trois autres composantes sont des indices de comportement du feu qui représentent la vitesse de propagation du feu, les quantités de combustibles disponibles et l'intensité du feu sur le front de l'incendie; la valeur de ces trois indices est directement proportionnelle au danger d'incendie.  1, fiche 1, Français, - M%C3%A9thode%20canadienne%20de%20l%27indice%20for%C3%AAt%2Dm%C3%A9t%C3%A9o

Mycological Test. A flat rectangular dish of enamelled iron, glass or porcelain(such as a photographic developing dish), is filled to a depth of 1 in. with a layer of sawdust obtained from the following perishable timbers in their natural condition :-Ash, Beech, Birch, Obeche, Poplar, Ramin, Willow are suitable. This sawdust shall immediately before use have been moistened with sugar solution containing 1/2 oz. domestic sugar(sucrose) to the quart of water so that the sawdust is saturated.... The layer of sawdust shall be loosely compacted.... The dish and contents shall be maintained at 25(plus or minus) 1°C... for four weeks, after which the test-pieces shall be removed, washed in cold water until cool and examined immediately. At the conclusion of the treatment, none of the samples shall show any blistering on the surfaces or separation of the plies at the edges of the sliding of one ply over another.  3, fiche 4, Anglais, - mycological%20test

The Hot-Mix Paving Industry. Most highways in Canada are surfaced with hot-mix asphalt which is a combination of aggregates uniformly mixed and coated with asphalt(or asphaltum).... a hot-mix asphalt paving plant is used to heat, mix and combine the aggregate and asphalt in the proper proportions to give the desired consistency and strength. After the material is mixed, it is transported to the paving site and spread as a loosely compacted layer with a uniformly smooth surface.  1, fiche 5, Anglais, - hot%2Dmix%20paving%20industry

La compacité d'un combustible, c'est-à-dire la quantité de combustible par unité de volume, varie beaucoup selon les types de combustibles. Les feux brûlent plus rapidement des combustibles peu tassés parce qu'il y a une plus grande circulation d'oxygène.  1, fiche 7, Français, - compacit%C3%A9%20d%27un%20combustible

In this way there is no risk of sand particles of different grain size becoming intermixed... such intermixing would result in the formation of preferential paths, that is, zones where-due to the fact that the sand at those points is loosely compacted or non-uniform-the water passes through quickly and without efficient filtration.  1, fiche 8, Anglais, - loosely%20compacted
