Info

Advantages Strategy - Direct Attack • Minimal area is burned; no additional area is intentionally burned. • It’s the safest place to work; firefighters can usually escape into the burned area. • The possibility of fire moving into the brush or crowns of trees is reduced. • The uncertainties of burning out or back-firing can be reduced/eliminated. Disadvantages • Firefighters can be hampered by heat, smoke and flames. • Control lines can be very long and irregular because the line follows the edge of the fire. • Burning material can easily spread across midslope lines. • May not be able to use natural or existing barriers. • More mop-up and patrol is usually required. 9
Advantages Strategy - Indirect Attack • The line can be located along favorable topography. • Natural or existing barriers can be used. • Firefighters may not have to work in smoke and heat. • The line can be constructed in lighter fuels. • There may be less danger of slopovers. Disadvantages • More area will be burned. • Must be able to trade time and space to allow line to be constructed and fired. • Firefighters may be placed in more danger because they are distant from the fire and can’t observe it. • There may be some dangers related to burning out or backfiring. • Burning out may leave unburned islands of fuel. • May not be able to use line already built. 10
