In South Africa's informal settlements, fire can be devastating, spreading rapidly among densely packed temporary housing.
Our study also included the spatio-temporal application of patchy fires (PBG) and cattle grazing, an attempt to recouple pre-settlement fire and grazing processes (Burrows [1991]; Fuhlendorf and Engle [2001]).
Pre-settlement fire return intervals in the Tahoe Basin were 5 30 years in Pinus jeffreyi dominated forests and 20 45 years in upper montane forests dominated by Abies magnifica[36, 53, 54, 68].
The other potential application of the carbon map includes detection of spatial patterns of carbon density in connection with human induced disturbances such as settlements, fire or forest clearing.
Under pre-settlement fire regimes, 4 to 14 fires would have been expected to burn in the study area over the temporal course of our longest recovery scenarios.

In their attack, the Mohawk destroyed a substantial portion of the Lachine settlement by fire and killed or captured numerous inhabitants, although historic sources have varied widely in estimates of the number killed, from 24 to 250.
Cheesman Lake, a protected landscape, and Turkey Creek, a managed landscape, appear to have had similar natural disturbance histories prior to European settlement and fire protection during the last century.
In this settlement the fire caused accidents are frequent occurrence as the houses are containing poor electricity installations.
