Today's Fire Danger

Using current conditions and weather patterns over the last 52 days

Fire danger is calculated at Solar Noon each day
Forecast is for time of highest risk, usually mid-late afternoon

EXTREME FIRE DANGER IS FORECAST Fires start quickly, spread furiously, and burn intensely. All fires are potentially serious. Development into high intensity burning will usually be faster and occur from smaller fires than in the very high fire danger class. Direct attack is rarely possible and may be dangerous except immediately after ignition. Fires that develop headway in heavy slash or in conifer stands may be unmanageable while the extreme burning condition lasts. Under these conditions the only effective and safe control action is on the flanks until the weather changes or the fuel supply lessens. FWI Details FIRE BEHAVIOUR: Fire Weather Index ...

Current Chandler Burn Index

Based on current temperature and humidity

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.
