Forest fires vary greatly in their severity and danger. The longer between fires, as a general rule, the more severe. Forest management can reduce the severity by reducing the amount and rearranging distribution of fuels. I've never been in a truly dangerous fire situation where I was afraid of what would happen. Most of the time, fires move slowly enough that one can get away from them. I posted the Ten Standard Fire Fighting Orders elsewhere, but here they are again. Standard Firefighting Orders 1. Keep informed on fire weather conditions and forecasts. 2. Know what your fire is doing at all times. 3. Base all actions on current and expected behavior of the fire. 4. Identify escape routes and safety zones and make them known. 5. Post lookouts when there is possible danger. 6. Be alert. Keep calm. Think clearly. Act decisively. 7. Maintain prompt communications with your forces, your supervisor, and adjoining forces. 8. Give clear instructions and insure they are understood. 9. Maintain control of your forces at all times. 10. Fight fire aggressively, having provided for safety first. fs.fed.us snipurl.com
