, When does a "slopover" occur? - Answer- A slopover occurs when fire crosses a control
line or natural barrier intended to contain the fire,

fires occur some distance from the control line.

adjacent to an involved area.
The edge of the, (blank), is usually where you construct a control line. - Answer- Green
What is the "black"? - Answer- The black or the burn is the area in which the fire has
consumed the fuels.

reburn can occur when burning conditions are more favorable. - Answer- Fuels

Answer- 60 feet
1 feet per minute equals, (blank), chains per hour - Answer- 1 Chain
10 feet per minute equals, (blank), chains per hour - Answer- 10 Chains
Fire Spread is the same thing as, (blank) - Answer- Rate of Spread (ROS)
(Blank), fires burn without a flame and very low ROS. - Answer- Smoldering
(Blank), fires burn with a low flame and low ROS. - Answer- Creeping
A, (blank), fire is one that spreads rapidly with a well-defined head. - Answer- Running

head, downhill, or against the wind.
