This paper summarizes the results of a recently completed project on 'Travel Rates of Ground Crews over Escape Routes' undertaken in 2001-2003 by the Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada in the province of Alberta. Travel rates of four different types of wildland firefighters were determined by recording the time taken to cover a 250 m run or course. Six different fuel type/slope cases were examined with and without carrying pack/tool on both improved and unimproved routes. Travel rates are presented here in English or Imperial units-i.e., feet per minute (ft/min) and chains per hour (ch/hr)-for the benefit of possible American users of the information.
