Synopsis

This book documents how Presuppression manning and re-weather observations, while distinct entities, are directly related. These two operations are both related to the re-danger rating index. Fire-weather observations are used to calculate the danger index; the index, in turn, is used to determine presuppression manning requirements. Therefore, inaccurate re weather readings can indirectly result in erroneous manpower requirements. The book delves deep into the most common equipment problems associated with the measurement of three key variables-fuel moisture, relative humidity, and windspeed. Focusing on the interrelation between presuppression manning and re-weather observations, the author brings to light the fact that improper maintenance habits can mean the difference between a small re and a conflagration.
