10s & 18s
This watchout situation talks about rollout
#13: On a hillside where rolling material can ignite fuel below
What are 3 indicators of increasing fire behavior.
Torching, crowning spotting
This 4‑letter acronym is the safety framework you establish before engaging a fireline.
LCES — Lookouts, Communications, Escape Routes, Safety Zones.
This tactic is often the first choice when conditions allow, using natural barriers and direct line construction close to the fire edge.
Direct attack. Anchor, Flank and Pinch
This Unit is responsible for all things related to times and money
Finance Unit
This Standard fire order talks about "all actions"
#3: Base all actions on current and expected behavior of the fire.
I am a portion of the fire line that has failed and the fire has crossed over into the green.
Slop over
Name two situational awareness inputs you should capture during size‑up.
Examples: current fire behavior indicators, winds/weather, fuels and fuel moisture, topography/alignments, or values at risk.
When fire behavior is too intense for direct engagement, crews may use this tactic, building line away from the fire and burning out fuels.
Indirect attack. (Utilizes control lines at a safe distance.)
This Unit is responsible for completion of the ICS-215.
Safety
This watchout talks about being uninformed.
#5: Uninformed on strategies tactics and hazards
What are the 2 types of tree torching
Single tree and Group
You discover your planned escape route is compromised. Which step of the Risk Management Process triggers the go/no‑go decision?
Decision Point (after adjusting controls).
Name two key considerations before initiating a burnout operation.
Weather/wind alignment, holding resources, escape routes, communication plan, approval from IC/division.
This person is often the IC at night or when the IC on a CIMT cannot be there.
Deputy Incident commander
This Standard fire order tells you to do 4 specific things.
#6: Be alert. Keep calm. Think clearly. Act decisively.
Name the 3 types of crown fire.
Passive, Active and Independent
Beyond simply identifying them, list two best‑practice actions to keep escape routes viable as conditions change.
Flag/mark them and re‑evaluate/communicate updates routinely (adjust for wind/topography, anchor new routes as needed).
This tactic uses water or retardant from aircraft to slow fire spread and support ground crews.
Aerial application (bucket drops, retardant lines).
This Section is responsible for sending and receiving of resources.
Plans section
This watchout situation talks about 2 components of LCES
#3: Safety zones and escape routes not identified
Three types of Heat Transfer
Convection, Conduction and radiation
Put the five steps of the Risk Management Process in order.
Situational Awareness → Hazard Assessment → Hazard Control → Decision Point → Evaluate.
Give three factors that influence whether to use point protection versus perimeter control.
Values at risk, resource availability, fire behavior, time constraints, terrain/access.
On large incidents, this Person is often the last in a long line of approvals needed to get anything approved for replacement through S-number.
