Safety Zone <strong>Guide</strong>lines • Avoid locations that are downwind from the fire. • Avoid locations that are in chimneys, saddles, or narrow canyons. • Avoid locations that require a steep uphill escape route. • Take advantage of heat barriers such as lee side of ridges, large rocks, or solid structures. • Burn out safety zones prior to flame front approach. • For radiant heat only, the distance separation between the firefighter and the flames must be at least four times the maximum flame height. This distance must be maintained on all sides, if the fire has ability to burn completely around the safety zone. Convective heat from wind and/or terrain influences will increase this distance requirement. CALCULATIONS ASSUME NO SLOPE AND NO WIND Flame Distance Separation Area in Height (firefighters to flame) Acres 10 ft. 40 ft. 1/10 acre 20 ft. 80 ft. 1/2 acre 50 ft. 200 ft. 3 acres 75 ft. 300 ft. 7 acres 100 ft. 400 ft. 12 acres 200 ft. 800 ft. 50 acres Distance Separation is the radius from the center of the safety zone to the nearest fuels. When fuels are present that will allow the fire to burn on all sides of the safety zone this distance must be doubled in order maintain effective separation in front, to the sides, and behind the firefighters. Area in Acres is calculated to allow for distance separation on all sides for a three person engine crew. One acre is approximately the size of a football field or exactly 208 feet x 208 feet. 7
Downhill Checklist Downhill fireline construction is hazardous in steep terrain, fast-burning fuels, or rapidly changing weather. Downhill fireline construction should not be attempted unless there is no tactical alternative. When building downhill fireline, the following is required: 1. Crew supervisor(s) and fireline overhead will discuss assignments prior to committing crew(s). Responsible overhead individual will stay with job until completed (TFLD or ICT4 qualified or better). 2. Decision will be made after proposed fireline has been scouted by supervisor(s) of involved crew(s). 3. L.C.E.S. will be coordinated for all personnel involved. • Crew supervisor(s) is in direct contact with lookout who can see the fire. • Communication is established between all crews. • Rapid access to safety zone(s) in case fire crosses below crew(s). 4. Direct attack will be used whenever possible; if not possible, the fireline should be completed between anchor points before being fired out. 5. Fireline will not lie in or adjacent to a chute or chimney. 6. Starting point will be anchored for crew(s) building fireline down from the top. 7. Bottom of the fire will be monitored; if the potential exists for the fire to spread, action will be taken to secure the fire edge. 8
