It spread like wildfire and some died within hours of developing symptoms.

The ill effects are mainly caused by excessive exposure to heat and smoke from wildfire as well as accidental burns.

In the summer of 2001 BIRD had been used semi operationally on FUEGOSAT for wildfire detection and monitoring over Portugal and Spain in the framework of the ESA Earth Watch Initiative.

At first sight, this might seem like another dispute between economists and non economists, but the rift runs within, rather than between, disciplinary boundaries. For example, recent work with field experiments and randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which has caught on like wildfire among development economists, lies strictly in the tradition of bottom up development.

11. The conclusions of the expert working groups reflect global experience and form the basis of the present report. Detailed information reports from each working group are available from the IDNDR secretariat. Additional information about early warning related to wildfire, as well as guiding principles for the effective implementation of national early warning systems, are also available.

Subsequently, the importance of managing wildfire hazards became the dominant policy promoted through the collaborating interests of public authorities, commercial interests and local commitments driven by a combination of balanced economic, social and ecological values. 53. Early detection and warning practices are critical to making decisions necessary for appropriate fire management responses and to maintain balanced natural and human influenced fire regimes.
