Description: The start of the 2002 Hayman Fire, the largest fire in Colorado history, was timed and located perfectly to take advantage of ideal burn conditions resulting in a wildfire run in 1 day of over 60,000 acres and finally impacting over 138,000 acres. More than 60 scientists and professionals examined how the fire behaved, the effects of fuel treatments on burn severity, the emissions produced, the ecological (i.e., soil, vegetation, animals) effects, the home destruction, postfire rehabilitation activities, and the social and economic issues surrounding the Hayman Fire.--CD insert.
