S-290 Unit 10: Fuel Moisture provides information about live and dead fuel moisture contents and their relation to fire behavior. Influences on fuel moisture and methods for estimating dead fuel and live fuel moisture in the field are summarized, and guidance is offered for assessing the potential fire danger based on fuel moisture and other fireline information. The module is part of the
Intermediate Wildland Fire Behavior Course .

Lesson seems overly repetitive and largely boring. Yes, this is not a flashy topic but you go from general principals to convoluted calculations then back to general. Basically, the lesson breaks down to "wet fuels do not burn but dry fuels do" and "here is how calculations are done" that most firefighters would never have to determine. Need more videos and live action...more audio would help.

This unit was less interactive than some of the other units. There was almost no voice interaction. I think better explanation of the dry fuel moisture calculations is necessary. These took significant time to understand, and were very limited on the quiz.

Shoot me in the face. This was by far the hardest unit to this point. I think I would have a better grasp of the material if it was narrated. Very difficult to follow. This may have gone to far into the science of why instead of the application for wild land fire fighting. It is important to understand weather. I am not the Incident Meteorologists. Never will be. Tell me its dry, low RH, and watch the skies.

There needed to be more multimedia in this lesson. (Actually there was none.) This was a particularly difficult lesson to just read through. It would have been beneficial to have more video and audio presentations. I feel that my retention of this information would have been greater with these changes.
