Fire Behavior Analysis

Fire Behavior Analysis is the study of how fires start, spread, and grow based on environmental conditions and the materials involved. It helps predict a fire’s movement and intensity by examining factors like fuel type, weather, and terrain. This information allows firefighters and land managers to make informed decisions about safety, containment strategies, and resource allocation. Essentially, it’s a scientific way to understand and anticipate fire behavior to prevent damage, protect lives, and manage landscapes effectively.
