Vision Statement
Our vision is to provide and connect fire science educators and trainers with scientifically solid and peer-reviewed teaching tools and techniques, using state-of-the-art materials, which will be free and accessible to all. This is done to significantly enhance the learning experience.
Mission Statement
To develop multiple sources of media, including but not limited to books, videos and classroom exercises, for the purpose of synthesizing the knowledge in fire science and to build a structure from which to move from. This will be a joint effort across academia, government institutions and NGOs. Existing media can and will be used in the larger structure and all materials will be peer-reviewed before being released as part of the framework.
We welcome all questions, comments, suggestions, and new members! Contact Andi Thode (andi.thode@nau.edu) or Molly Hunter (mollyhunter@email.arizona.edu).

Wind and Its Impact on Fire Behavior
มุมมอง 1.1K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the fourth video in the fire weather video series. In the video you will learn how wind affects fire behavior and the forces the influence the wind.
Temperature and Moisture Relationships
มุมมอง 1.6K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the third video in the fire weather video series. In this video, we will cover: - Basic properties of atmospheric temperature and moisture - How atmospheric moisture is measured - How atmospheric moisture changes - And The relationship between temperature, atmospheric moisture, and fuel moisture. -Contents of this Video- 00:00 Intro 03:42 How to Measure 03:58 Dew Point 04:43 Wet Bulb 05...
Heating and Cooling of the Earth and Air
มุมมอง 1.2K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the second video in a series on fire weather. We need to understand how the Earth and air heats and cools if we want to understand the weather. Heat transfer can affect us personally if we get too close to something hot but it can also affect how the air moves and how fuels dry out. It is all connected!
Introduction to Fire Weather
มุมมอง 2.4K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the first video in a series on fire weather. It covers the basic relationship between weather and fire behavior and sets the stage for the more detailed videos in the series. This is fascinating but sometimes complicated stuff. The best way to learn about the connection between weather and fire behavior is to observe how they relate. Get out there and watch some weather!
The Relationship Between Relative Humidity, Fuel Moisture, and Fire Behavior
มุมมอง 2.9Kปีที่แล้ว
Relative Humidity is a critical concept in wildland fire but one that can be tricky to understand. This video will help break the concept down and connect RH to fuel moisture, and fuel moisture to fire behavior. When you know how and why fuels dry you will have a better idea of how they will burn.
Fire Regimes
มุมมอง 2.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Almost anywhere on this earth that has vegetation tends to burn with somewhat predictable patterns. The characteristics of the vegetation and climate determine that pattern of fire - otherwise known as the fire regime. And as you will come to see in this video, the fire regime also has a big influence on the vegetation and climate.
Guide to Fire Weather Forecasts
มุมมอง 2.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This video provides information on how to interpret a fire weather forecast by highlighting the most important sections, details on important weather fundamentals significant to fire behavior changes, and walks you through the three types of forecasts. This is a companion video to the NWCG Guide to Fire Weather Forecasts PMS 425 publication. www.nwcg.gov/publications/pms425

thank you very informative .theres no link to the fire behaviour sheets
Fred Schoeffler 16 seconds ago Excellent wildland fire weather and behavior assessment tool utilizing the IRPG and (former El Carizo HS Supt, and DFMO) Doug Campbell's Campbell Prediction System (CPS) for initial and extended attack and transition wildfires. Thank you for posting this
