Using Behave 7 for Prescribed Fire Planning

Originally recorded October 7, 2026 This webinar focuses on the Surface & Crown, Surface & Mortality, and Surface & Contain modules for prescribed fire plan development. It is designed for RXB1s, RXB2s, trainees, and anyone who assists with burn plans. Please note that we will not cover the Surface module; if you need that overview, please view the Introduction to Behave7 webinar recording. The Fire Learning Network (FLN) is made up of fire practitioners across the United States who are dedicated to living better with fire. The FLN connects these thought leaders to each other, and provides training, education, and funding to help them build the capacity and social capital needed to develop and maintain sustainable fire cultures.
