Fire Behavior Assessment Team
The Fire Behavior Assessment Team (FBAT) is a unique module that assesses fire behavior
on wildfires, wildland fire use fires, and prescribed fires. We measure pre-fire fuels, fire behavior
using sensors and video cameras, and post-fire conditions. We predict fire acceleration and potential
arrival times in chimneys and canyons for egress and evacuation comparisons and safety zone locations. |
