This collaboratives stuff is driving me nuts. I am still not sure what exactly is being discussed in the literature. I am going to continue pursuing this with a broader focus, drawing from a bunch of different perspectives and try circling around the concept until I can get it.
In the meantime it looks like the NSF has funded what may have been the equivalent to my dream research project. Toddi Steelman at NC State, along with a number of other researchers, created the Fire Chasers project going all the way back 10 years ago. This project launched a number of the articles I have examined about fire and community response over the last few months. I did not realize they were all a part of the same effort. Now knowing that something similar to what I want to do was funded is both great in that I know that it can be funded but unfortunate in that the NSF has already poured so much into a similar project.
In the meantime I am going to track down that grant and check it out. Should provide some excellent guidance.
