Fire Danger Rating System Definitions
A low danger rating means fire can start easily and spread quickly, but there will be minimal involvement of deeper fuel layers or larger fuels.
A moderate danger rating means forest fuels and ground vegetation are drying and there is an increased risk of surface fires starting.
A high danger rating means forest fuels and ground vegetation are very dry and the fire risk is serious. New fires may start easily, burn vigorously, and may challenge fire suppression efforts.
An extreme danger rating means extremely dry forest fuel and ground vegetation. The fire risk is very serious. New fires will start easily, spread rapidly, and challenge fire suppression efforts.
A fire ban danger rating means all open air burning is prohibited
