S-290
Intermediate Wildland Fire Behavior
This is a skills focused course designed to prepare the prospective fireline supervisor to undertake safe and effective fire management operations. It is the second course in a series that collectively serves to develop fire behavior prediction knowledge and skills. The course will train students how to make a thorough, timely assessment of the fire environment and to anticipate changes in fire behavior based on changes in and/or alignment of the fuels, weather, and topography. Students will then practice using this information to support their decision-making and risk management on the fireline.
We offer two sessions for this course. Pay close attention to the course dates chosen when you completed registration for either Session A or Session B. You only need to sign up for one of the sessions.
