VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER IS FORECAST Fires start easily from all causes and, immediately after ignition, spread rapidly and increase quickly in intensity. Spot fires are a constant danger. Fires burning in light fuels may quickly develop high intensity characteristics such as long-distance spotting and fire whirlwinds when they burn into heavier fuels. FIRE BEHAVIOUR: Fire Weather Index ... VERY HIGH (26) Initial Spread .......... MODERATE (5) Build Up Index ........ EXTREME (404) FUELS MOISTURE: Fine Fuel Moisture .. HIGH (90) Duff Moisture ......... EXTREME (326) Drought ................ EXTREME (1331) |

CURRENT FIRE RISK IS LOW Fuels do not ignite readily from small firebrands although a more intense heat source, such as lightning, may start fires in duff or punky wood. Fires in open cured grasslands may burn freely a few hours after rain, but woods fires spread slowly by creeping or smoldering, and burn in irregular fingers. There is little danger of spotting.
