Fire Effects Monitor (FEMO) and Field Observer (FOBS)

S-244 Field Observer and Fire Effects Monitor is technically the course for FEMO and FOBS. Sadly, it is not a required class and often not taught. I plan on building out this class in 2023 and offering it as a workshop along with RX310 and S290. Stay tuned!

Examples
​I feel like there is still lots of room for improvement in these examples. Use them as a starting place, improve the design, and send me what you make to share with others!
