Wildland Fire Behavior Chapter 4 Exam
Questions And Answers Latest Updated 2025
|100% Verified.
The weather related factors that influence fire behavior are - Answer✔Temperature, relative
humidity, atmospheric stability, wind speed and direction, and precipitation
The Topographic factors that contribute to fire behavior are - Answer✔Elevation, position on
the slope, aspect, shape of the terrain, most important is steepness of slope
The fuel components that affect fire behavior are - Answer✔Feel loading, size and shape of the
fuel, compactness, horizontal and vertical continuity,chemical content, fuel moisture, Fuel
temperature
Fuel moisture and temperature - Answer✔The most important fuel components
Spotting occurs when - Answer✔Burning material is carried ahead of the fire and deposited and
unburned material.
What four ways can spotting occur - Answer✔Popping, convection, winds, gravity.
Convective heating is the biggest problem dropping some distance

Wind and convection are a problem. In the northern hemisphere what happens - Answer✔In
the northern hemisphere there is normally a counterclockwise movement of air as it rises. This
means that there will be a higher percentage of spot fires on the left side of the fires head
Creeping - Answer✔Fire burning was low flame and spreading slowly
Running - Answer✔Fire spreading rapidly with a well-defined head
Backing - Answer✔Fire moving away from the head down hill or against the wind
Torching - Answer✔Fire burning on the surface, but periodically igniting the crown of a single or
small group of trees or shrubs before returning to the surface. Not as serious as a crown fire
Spotting - Answer✔Sparks or embers produced by the main fire and carried by when our
conviction columns across the control line
Crowning - Answer✔Fire that advances across tops of trees or shrubs more or less independent
of surface fire. High fire intensity and high for rate of speed
Blowup - Answer✔Sudden increase in fire intensity our rate of speed significant to preclude
direct control or to upset existing suppression plans.
Smoldering - Answer✔Fire burning without flame and spreading very slowly
Fire intensity is affected by what four factors - Answer✔Feel loading, compactness our
arrangement of fuels, fuel moisture content, slope and wind speed
