Presentation transcript:

Prescribed Fire Danger Signals 1. Pre-ignition burn parameters (winds, relative humidity, fuel) on hot side of prescription. 2. Not enough people to cover firelines. 3. New (or unfamiliar) equipment, technology problems (radios), and equipment dependency.

Prescribed Fire Danger Signals 4. Firelines not safe (too narrow, too hot for crew, not “clean”, constructed on hillsides where rolling material can ignite fuel below, snags near firelines). 5. Inexperienced crew members, crews not familiar with each other, hybrid crews on large burns.

Prescribed Fire Danger Signals 6. Complicated ignition patterns, especially with crews unfamiliar with each other. 7. Changes in weather, nearby thunderstorms. 8. Crew report spotting in early stages of burn.

Prescribed Fire Danger Signals 9. Unfamiliar unit, not scouted in daylight. 10. Don’t know the plan (didn’t know there was a plan), crew uninformed about strategy and hazards. Crew instruction and assignments not clear. 11. Old plans, changes in fuel models, i.e. more grassy, dead cedar.

Prescribed Fire Danger Signals 12. Burning using other people’s plans in unfamiliar territory, subtly different topography, and fuel types other then usual. 13. Changing the burn prescription on burn day. 14. Hurrying, especially to meet a narrow burn window.

Prescribed Fire Danger Signals 15. Night burning (mop up). 16. KB index 500+ (engages 100 hour fuels, snags), with probability of ignition high. 17. Burning unit after a several smooth, successful, and uneventful burns. 18. Taking a nap near the fireline.

Watch Out Situations Burning without “Kings”. Burning without “Whites” - that’s eight inch “Whites”. Burning in California - what happened to all of those California fire leaders anyway? Inability to pronounce Cienega and you’re burning in the Socratese.

Watch Out Situations Your ignition source is a meteor. You forgot to excess a suitable number of fish as part of your fire/herbicide program. You fall under Jason’s LD 50. Burning without the Pope (on holding). Burning without suspenders, chewing, tobacco, or those oakleys.

Watch Out Situations During ignition, your resource person mixes up tai chi, pratanyana yoga, and just plain praying. Wow. You actually understand one of Walker’s questions.

Watch Out Situations After cavitating your resource person’s pump he sobbingly repeats “poor Thelma, poor Thelma.” You are short on trained monkeys on burn day and have to resort to real firefighters.

Watch Out Situations
