S-390
Introduction to Wildland Fire Behavior Calculations
S-390 prepares students to use fire behavior calculators and other resources to support and inform fireline decisions. Students will assess and analyze the fire environment to determine the necessary inputs for fire behavior calculators. They will learn how to properly use both non-electronic and electronic fire behavior processors, and how to document, interpret, and communicate the outputs. Finally, students will practice applying this information to support risk management, strategic planning, and tactical decisions.
