Module 2--February 1 and 2, 2012

• Dan Mindar – Instructor
  Students will need the following materials for the 40 Fuel Model Instruction. I will go over how to obtain these materials in the lecture portion of the instruction; but students would be advised to down-load these materials prior to the workshop.
  
  All the materials are available from the FRAMES web site on the Fuels page. http://www.frames.gov/portal/server.pt/community/fuels/218
  
  Students will need to down-load the following items.
  • RMRS-GTR-153: Standard Fire Behavior Fuel Models: A Comprehensive Set for Use with Rothermel's Surface Fire Spread Model
  (Note; if students Have this publication in hard copy that is preferred)
  • Combined Fuel Model Spreadsheet and Help File
  (Note; these files can be down-loaded separately, but be sure to get the chm file version for the Help File)
  (Note; students will need Microsoft Excel on their computers for the spreadsheet to work)
  
  
• Faith Ann Heinsch – Instructor
