FIRING TECHNIQUES Back fire Strip fire Spot fire Flank fire Ring fire Head fire

Back Firing Where Used: Understory Burning, Heavy Fuels, Near Control Line, Smoke Sensitive Areas. Advantages: Low Intensity, Low Scorch, Minimal Spotting Potential, High Consumption. Disadvantages: Slow, Poor Dispersion.

Strip Head Firing Where Used: Large Units, Shrublands, Grasslands. Advantages: Fast, Flexible, Can Adjust Intensity. Disadvantages: Requires Access to the Unit, Fires Will Interact.

Spot Head Firing Where To Use: Large Units, Units With Dispersed Fuels, Understory Burns. Advantages: Fast, Intensity Highly Adjustable, Variable Fire Behavior. Disadvantages: Need Access to the Unit.

Flank Firing Where Used: Shrublands, Light Fuels. Advantages: FL Between Backing and Head Fire Behavior, Easily Modified. Disadvantages: Susceptible to Wind Shifts, Requires Experience Firing Personnel.

Ring Firing Where Used: Shrublands, Brush Piles, Clearcuts. Advantages: Fast, Excellent Smoke Dispersal, Very High Intensity, Good Draw. Disadvantages: Strong Convection Column May Develop, Spotting Potential May be High.

Head Firing Where Used: Large Units, Shrublands, In Communities with Light Fuels. Advantages: Fast, Inexpensive, Good Smoke Dispersal. Disadvantages: High Intensity, Greater Spotting Potential, Larger Volume of Smoke Generated.
