    Description
    This course introduces fire behavior calculations by manual and electronic methods such as tables, nomograms, and BehavePlus. It gives students an in depth understanding of the determinants of fire behavior by discussing input (wind, slope, fuels, fuel moisture, etc.) to the prediction process. Interpretations of the fire behavior outputs are taught to enhance the student's ability to understand fire behavior and provide "tools" to help in fire management decisions.
