very well

The lesson overall is good, the only thing I would add is: Trust your gut. I don't mean let your gut overrule a warning. Use the numbers to help you anticipate worse-than-expected conditions. Lucky fire fighters outnumber the unlucky ones. Due to both luck and good management, most of us have never experienced a fatality fire. The people who can tell us what it "feels like" to be too close to a crown fire are rare few, and many of those are dead. Your experience can only tell you about conditions you've survived, not conditions that will kill you.But your gut still is informed by a lot of experience and unconscious observations, and (especially for those of us who struggle with math) it may be better-calibrated than your calculator. So if the numbers tell you the fire could turn into a freight train, take it seriously. And if the numbers tell you to expect dawdling little lambs, but your gut feels like this fire is getting ready to monkey around, plan for the flying monkeys.Have fun!

great resource

Good lesson.

thanks

Still getting caught up in details. If we're comparing ROS with Expected ROS, and initial ROS took 6 hours, and expected ROS will be 140x of that, how much less time will it take? I don't have a calculator in the field. Will someone tell me that?The FLAME entries below the before and after pictures: there are too many, I think. It's a little too "busy." How practical is it to have hard copy, or even, to estimate forecasts, on a fireline? How practical are computers?

ok

OK

This lesson was the most beneficial of all the lessons in this class, to me.

very interesting to discover Fire behavior predictions systems different than the one than we already use in our fire department.Really useful to work out the FLAME even in real situations occurred.

Man, I wish this course wouldn't end. The stuff about fire and weather is totally mind blowing. Heck, I might just take this course again.

Nice refresher class for all ranks.

fun

good one

Been involved in fed program for years and have never heard of or seen FLAME in use on fireline

Tough! ..

this lesson was harder to fallow do to the two subjects even if they were related.

I thoroughly benefited from this instruction and although some of the material seemed excessive and esoteric at times, the overall objective was very applicable to supression (and Rx)operations. It's a good course with real-world examples that remind one how important awareness is out on the line.

Thanks for the course.

I have benefited from the knowledge gained from these modules. I am a librarian volunteer presently. I have been through the CA. historical wildfires in the past. 2007. I was able to do a scenario with the facts gained to put my shelf in the shoes of fantastic persons who did not leave us and saved many homes. I have shared this information and given this website to my head librarian. Thank you for a well written course.
