We celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Journal of Forest Research by reflecting on the considerable progress accomplished in select areas of Canadian wildland fire science over the past half century. Specifically, we discuss key developments and contributions in the creation of the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System; the relationships between wildland fire and weather, climate, and climate change; fire ecology; operational decision support; and wildland fire management. We also discuss the evolution of wildland fire management in Banff National Park as a case study. We conclude by discussing some possible directions in future Canadian wildland fire research including the further evaluation of fire severity measurements and effects; the efficacy of fuel management treatments; climate change effects and mitigation; further refinement of models pertaining to fire risk analysis, fire behaviour, and fire weather; and the integration of forest management and ecological restoration with wildland fire risk reduction. Throughout the paper, we reference many contributions published in the Canadian Journal of Forest Research, which has been at the forefront of international wildland fire science. Key words: Banff National Park, Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System, fire ecology, wildland fire, wildfire. La science des incendies forestiers a connu des progres considerables au cours du dernier demi-siecle, avec des avancees dans tous les principaux domaines d'investigation. Dans cet article, nous celebrons le 50e anniversaire de la Revue canadienne de recherche forestiere en reflechissant a l'histoire de la recherche scientifique sur les incendies de foret au Canada. Nous examinons l'evolution de cette science au cours des 50 dernieres annees au Canada, notamment pour les principaux developpements et contributions dans la conception de la Methode canadienne d'evaluation des dangers d'incendie de foret, la climatologie-meteorologie des incendies, le changement climatique, l'ecologie des incendies et la gestion operationnelle des incendies. Nous presentons, a titre d'exemple, une etude de cas sur l'evolution de la gestion des incendies dans le parc national Banff. Nous concluons en discutant des orientations des recherches futures sur les incendies de foret au Canada, notamment pour ce qui est de l'evaluation future de la gravite des incendies et de leurs effets, de l'efficacite des traitements de gestion des combustibles et des effets et de l'attenuation du changement climatique, ainsi que du developpement de l'analyse des risques d'incendie de meme que des modeles de comportement des incendies. Nous constatons egalement qu'il est toujours necessaire de mieux integrer la gestion des forets et la restauration ecologique a la reduction des risques d'incendie. Tout au long de l'article, nous faisons reference aux nombreuses contributions publiees dans la Revue canadienne de recherche forestiere, qui a ete a la pointe de la science internationale en matiere d'incendies de foret. Mots-cles : parc national Banff, Methode canadienne d'evaluation des dangers d'incendie de foret, ecologie de feu, feux de forets., Introduction Wildland fire has been a persistent feature of the Canadian landscape for millennia (Richard 1993; Price et al. 2013). On average, fires have burned 1.96 Mha per year in [...]

Recently, the World Scientists' Warning to Humanity: a Second Notice was issued in response to ongoing and largely unabated environmental degradation due to anthropogenic activities. In the warning, humanity is urged to practice more environmentally sustainable alternatives to business as usual to avoid potentially catastrophic outcomes. Following the success of their warning, the Alliance of World Scientists called for discipline-specific follow-up papers. This paper is an answer to that call for the topic of wildland fire. Across much of Canada and the world, wildfires are anticipated to increase in severity and frequency in response to anthropogenic activities. The world scientists' second warning provides the opportunity for wildland fire researchers to raise the profile of the potential impacts that anthropogenic activities are likely to have on future fire regimes and, in return, what impacts future fire regimes may have on humanity. We discuss how wildfire is related to several issues of concern raised in the world scientists' second warning, including climate change, human population growth, biodiversity and forests, and freshwater availability. Furthermore, we touch on the potential future health impacts and challenges to wildfire suppression and management in Canada. In essence, our wildfire scientists' warning to humanity is that we, as a society, will have to learn to live with more fire on the landscape. We provide some recommendations on how we might move forward to prepare for and adapt to future wildfire regimes in Canada. Although this paper is primarily Canadian in focus, the concepts and information herein also draw from international examples and are of relevance globally. Key words: climate change, wildfire, wildland fire, world scientists' warning. Recemment, le << World Scientists' Warning to Humanity : a Second Notice >> a ete publie en reaction a la degradation de l'environnement qui se poursuit quasiment sans relache a cause de l'activite humaine. Dans cette mise en garde, l'humanite est instamment priee d'adopter des pratiques alternatives plus durables du point de vue environnemental que les pratiques actuelles pour eviter des consequences potentiellement catastrophiques. Etant donnee le succes de leur mise en garde, le << Alliance of World Scientists >> a lance un appel a contribution en sollicitant des articles de suivi disciplinaires. Cet article constitue une reponse a cet appel a contribution pour le domaine des feux de foret. Dans la majeure partie du Canada, et du monde, on prevoit que la severite et la frequence des feux de foret ira en augmentant a cause de l'activite humaine. Le deuxieme avertissement des scientifiques du monde fournit l'occasion aux chercheurs dans le domaine des feux de foret de mieux faire connaitre les impacts que l'activite humaine pourrait vraisemblablement avoir sur les futurs regimes des feux et, en retour, quels impacts les futurs regimes des feux pourraient avoir sur l'humanite. Nous discutons de la facon dont les feux de foret sont relies a plusieurs sujets de preoccupation souleves par la deuxieme mise en garde des scientifiques a travers le monde, incluant les changements climatiques, la croissance de la population humaine, la biodiversite et les forets ainsi que la disponibilite de l'eau douce. De plus, nous abordons les impacts sur la sante et les defis potentiels a venir poses par la gestion et la suppression des feux de foret. Essentiellement, notre mise en garde pour l'humanite en tant que specialistes des feux de foret est que nous aurons, comme societe, a apprendre a vivre avec plus de feux dans le paysage. Nous formulons certaines recommandations sur la fa^on dont nous pourrions aller de l'avant pour se preparer et s'adapter aux futurs regimes des feux au Canada. Bien que principalement axes sur le Canada, les concepts et l'information presentes dans cet article s'inspirent aussi d'exemples internationaux et sont pertinents a l'echelle mondiale. [Traduit par la Redaction] Mots-cles: changement climatique, feu de foret, feu de vegetation, avertissement des scientifiques a travers le monde., 1. Introduction In 1992, the Union of Concerned Scientists (1992) along with more than 1700 independent scientists drafted and signed the World Scientists' Warning to Humanity, which pleaded with people [...]
