The Fire Effects Monitor (FEMO) is responsible for collecting the on site weather, fire behavior, and fire effects information needed to assess whether the fire is achieving established resource management objectives.

• Review the monitoring plan prior to implementation.
• Monitor, obtain, and record weather data.
• Monitor and record fire behavior data throughout the fire management operation.
• Recon the burn unit/area assigned.
• Plot the burn area and perimeter on a map.
• Monitor and record smoke management information.
• Monitor first order fire effects.
• Collect and record environmental data.
• Provide monitoring summary of the fire.

This site is intended to provide resources that will help FEMOs better perform these tasks.
