Module 7 - Techniques for Prescribed Fire

[@VT5874]

Great content. One recommendation would be to put more emphasis of the corners , ridges and saddles in adverse conditions.
You can find head strips, flanking and dots everywhere. I think this would be extremely helpful from a learning and teaching standpoint

This is a great video! It is going into RX301 for NWCG.

Far different burn techniques and process than we use down here in South Georgia for our control burns in timber. Still very interesting to see the process used in a different environment.

How to measure rate of spread of fire? Visually?

[@NebraskaPheasantsForever]

Rate of spread can be calculated by distance the fire has traveled/time, which by fire practitioners is oftentimes yards/hour or chains/hour. Module #2 Fire Behavior has some good photos and diagrams of rate of spread.

[@Ankit-wk7rx]

@@NebraskaPheasantsForever I mean, when you perform experimentally, that time how did you measure ROS? Due to smoke, its difficult to see visually, right?

Sure you can light it up. You could also get a few pigs to dig it up. Pigs also give you bacon. I'll take the bacon over fire.

[@lanejohnson2010]

Bacon is cooked with fire. Fire remains critical!

Have you ever used a weed torch, with a VersaMule modular load harness?
