Great lesson, very straightforward.

This is the stupidest Goddamn fucking test I have ever taken. Somehow, the more questions I got right, the less my score would be. I went back and read everything. Front and back, inside and out, using nothing but logic and reasoning. After so many times of failing it over and over, I just gave up and started answering the questions with random answers......... and after only one attempt of randomly guessing, I passed. SCREW YOU METED! YOU ARE WORTHLESS

This lesson helped me to better understand the potential for fire danger in my area.

Another great course on wildland fire, communications, etc...

Excellent background for anyone interested in fire weather.

The quiz questions did not all closely follow the material in the narrative, but required outside research to to get more than the minimum passing score. In the long run it was ok because it lead me to do some deeper thinking about the topic, but it made me take 4 times the indicated time to complete the module.

More relevant video media content would emphasize important content presented in this module

Very Interesting .. Going through a dry period now

At the end of this module you should be able to:

• Describe the fire “setup” stage and identify weather patterns that lead to fuel dryness,
• understand fuel dryness evolution and how it relates to the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS),
• describe specific fire weather and fuel data sources that aid in determining fuel susceptibility,
• apply situational awareness concepts to fire weather forecasting operations.
