In this training video, Jack Cohen, a wildfire expert and fire research scientist, reviews the dynamics of wildland fire behavior. He describes mitigation strategies, sizing up the fire, weather and fuel load conditions, heat transfer, and other factors.
Understanding the behavior of wildfire in the wildland/urban interface can help firefighters predict what the fire will do and won’t do, adapt to conditions, and adjust the tactical efforts needed to respond, triage, contain, and protect.
