63. ADVANCED FIRE BEHAVIOR CALCULATIONS (S-490)  
This course is the fourth in a series designed to develop fire behavior and prediction knowledge and skills. This course prepares the student for S-590, Advanced Fire Behavior Interpretation. Examples and exercises are divided between wildfire and prescribed fire applications. The student learns to project fire perimeter growth based on weather predictions and knowledge of fuels and topography using a variety of scenarios.

Objectives

At the completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Demonstrate the assumptions, limitations, and appropriate uses of fire behavior prediction models.

  • Demonstrate computation of wildland fire behavior parameters using advanced techniques to define model inputs and compute outputs.

  • Demonstrate the procedures to predict fire growth and extreme fire behavior in complex terrain.

  • Demonstrate ability to predict when wildland fire behavior in the third dimension is likely, and the associated impacts on firefighter safety and operations.
