Wildland Toolkit
Wildland Toolkit is a calculator and reference guide for wildland firefighters. With it, you can predict fire behavior much like a weather prediction. Just enter the fuel, weather, and topography information and Wildland Toolkit will generate:
- RH and Dewpoint
- Fine Dead Fuel Moisture
- Probability of Ignition
- Flamelength
- Rate of Spread
- Scorch height
- Direction of Max Spread
- Effective Windspeed
All 54 of the new fuel models are supported, with a guide to select the proper fuel model, complete with sample photos.
Wildland Toolkit is not a tutorial on wildland fire behavior, so if the terms above do not make any sense, then this application will not teach you. It is assumed that you know the same background information that is presented in an S290 or S390 class. The calculations done in the Wildland Toolkit are similar to what is done with the BEHAVE software, but you will find the user interface much easier to use.
In addition, numerous safety checklists and reference guides are included, such as:
- watchouts
- fire orders
- safety zones
- structure defense
- more
Photos and diagrams are provided for:
- cloud types
- hand signals
- common wildland tools
- ICS org charts
Interactive practice quizzes for:
- NIMS IS-700
- S290.
