Wildland firefighting S-190
25%< RH - ANS-Dangerous for wildland firefighters
five indicators whilst assessing terrain - ANS-Steep slopes, chutes, saddles, container canyons,
slender canyons
7 hearth surroundings factors - ANS-Fuel characteristics, gas moisture, fuel temp, topography,
wind, ecosystem balance, fire conduct
7 signs of wind - ANS-Surface winds above 10mph, transferring wins, lenticular clouds,
excessive rapid moving clouds, cold fronts, cumulonimbus clouds, surprising calm
7 Look up down around elements - ANS-Fuel traits, fuel moisture, gasoline temp, terrain, wind
atmospheric stability and fireplace behavior
Aerial fuels - ANS-Fuel suspended from the ground. Ex: branches, twigs, bark and vines.
Anchor points - ANS-Where you have to start your fireline. Minimizes the danger of being
outflanked by using the fireplace whilst the line is being constructed.
Atmospheric instability - ANS-Good visibility, sturdy winds/ dirt devils, cumulus clouds,
castellatus clouds within the morning, smoke rising straight up, inversion starts offevolved to
raise, thermal belt
Black hazardous - ANS-Steep terrain, hot spots, falling snags, publicity from adjacent Unburned
fuels.
Blowup - ANS-Sudden boom in ROS. Can behave like hearth storms.
Box canyons - ANS-Chimney impact on a canyon
Box canyons - ANS-Chimney effect. Very dangerous
Chain - ANS-How the hearth is measured. 60ft in a series. Ex: 1ft/min= 1 chain according to
hour 10ft/min= 10 chains in keeping with hour
Chute - ANS-Steep v form drainage
Chutes - ANS-Steep v shape drainage channels smoke and fire upwards at speedy fee
, Cold the front - ANS-Makes controlling a hearth very difficult.
Combustion - ANS-Self sustaining manner of a gasoline that produces warmth and light.
Conduction - ANS-Tranfer of heat by direct touch. Ex: warm exhaust touching brush
Control a hearth - ANS-Complete manipulate line around fireplace, burn out Unburned regions
on the alternative aspect of the line, settle down warm spots.
Control line - ANS-Constructed or herbal fire limitations. Also describes dealt with fireplace
edges.
Convection - ANS-Transfer of heat through fluid or gases. Usually upward course.
Convection column - ANS-Rise of heated air or gases above a persevering with warmth or fire.
Convection column - ANS-Rising hot air/ gasoline above the hearth supply.
Convective winds - ANS-Slope and valley winds, land and sea breezes, thunderstorm winds,
whirlwinds, firewhirls
Creeping fires - ANS-Low flame. Burns slowly
Dead fuels - ANS-Where moisture is only governed with the aid of most effective atmospheric
moisture. Ie: relative humidity and precipitation.
Dead to stay ratio - ANS-Dangerous in a wildland fire.
Direct effect of wind - ANS-Intensifies the fireplace by feeding it greater oxygen. Bends flames.
Carries embers.
Dust devils - ANS-Hot days, flat dry surfaces, skies are clean and winds are mild. Cause
recognizing.
East dealing with slope - ANS-Early heating in the morning. Early cooling in evening.
Fingers - ANS-Long slim strips of fireplace that ruin off of the primary hearth. Caused via
blended fuels, natural functions dividing the fire.
Fire conduct - ANS-Manner wherein the fireplace reacts to numerous fuels, weather and
topography.
Fire crowning - ANS-When the fireplace spreads throughout the tree tops quicker than the floor
