Fire Behavior, Danger and Fuels Information
Wildland Fire Situation Reports - Updated Daily
Wildland Fire Assessment System (WFAS) - National maps of selected fire weather and fire danger components of the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS). Also has maps of Keetch-Byram and Palmer drought indices.
Fire Danger and Potential Graphics from WFAS - Updated Each Evening
Note: Forecasts may not depict accurate fire danger between October and April.
* The experimental fire potential index map uses satellite derived Relative Greenness, an NFDRS fuel model map (both 1 km resolution), and an interpolated 10-hour timelag map as inputs to weight the relative influence of live and dead vegetation to fire potential. The scale ranges from 0 (low) to 100 (high).
