+ 	  We describe the design of a system for wildfire monitoring 
+           incorporating wireless sensors, and report results
+ 	  from field testing during prescribed test burns near San
+ 	  Francisco, California. The system is composed of
+ 	  environmental sensors collecting temperature, relative
+ 	  humidity and barometric pressure with an on-board GPS
+ 	  unit attached to a wireless, networked mote. The motes
+ 	  communicate with a base station, which communicates
+ 	  the collected data to software running on a database
+ 	  server. The data can be accessed using a browser-based
+ 	  web application or any other application capable of
+ 	  communicating with the database server. Performance of the
+ 	  monitoring system during two prescribed burns at Pinole
+ 	  Point Regional Park (Contra Costa County, California,
+ 	  near San Francisco) is promising. Sensors within the
+ 	  burn zone recorded the passage of the flame front before
+ 	  being scorched, with temperature increasing, and barometric
+ 	  pressure and humidity decreasing as the flame front
+ 	  advanced. Temperature gradients up to 5 C per second were
+ 	  recorded. The data also show that the temperature
+ 	  slightly decreases and the relative humidity slightly
+ 	  increases from ambient values immediately preceding the
+ 	  flame front, indicating that locally significant weather
+ 	  conditions develop even during relatively cool, slow moving
+ 	  grass fires. The maximum temperature recorded was 95 C,
+ 	  the minimum relative humidity 9%, and barometric
+ 	  pressure dropped by as much as 25 mbar.
