Redbook calculations
What two values do you need to calculate ISI?
Effective wind speed and FFMC.
I am ponderosa pine and douglas fir.
C-7
During what period do you have the following conditions. Decrease in foliage moisture content, increase in sugars, starches and fats in timber and conifers budding pre-tips and rate of spreads doubled.
Spring dip
Direct attack will usually no longer work at this class.
Class 4
I walk around with a bag of chew
Zak Bagot
What are your 3 primary outputs?
Rate of spread, fire intensity class, type of fire.
Occurs in summer green stage, rate of spread changes dependent on % portion of species.
M-2
You started your burn, smoke starts settling in the valley and stops rising completely. What weather phenomena is this presenting?
Inversion
Organized flame front starts at this fire rank.
Rank 3
Who is the best FBAN in the province?
Conlan Sprickerhoff
What two values create BUI?
Duff moisture code and drought code.
I will never be a crown fire, retardant drops are not effective, I contain pine trees.
S-1
Counter clockwise.
This rank creates its own weather.
Fire rank 6
Woof woof
Mad dawg
If you are in M-4 60% dead fir, with an FFMC of 94, wind speed of 15km/hr and a BUI 140, what spread rates, intensity class and type of fire will you get?
24M/min, intensity class 6, continuous crown.
I am neither leafy or naked, but right now I am leafy. Am I odd or even?
Large branches in motion, rustling in telephone wires, umbrellas in motion. What is this windspeed range?
39-49km/hr
4000-10000 kW/m is what fire class?
Class 5
None of my photos are actually me
Dustin Karolat
You are in M-4 60% dead fir, with an FFMC of 94, wind 15km/hr, BUI of 140, calculate when would be a good time to go direct. The relative is humidity is 69%.
0700, anything past that it gets into the crown
I have continuous cover, no organic layer, and I am standing and cured.
It is C-2, mid-August with 5 km winds, when will intermittent crown fire occur and what is the FFMC?
ISI 3, FFMC of 85.
I funnel flames and heat to the top and concentrate fire intensity.
Box canyon or topographical feature
I lost all of my BCWS nomex, now all I wear is Australian gear.
