Prescribed FireEvanston/Mt. View Ranger Districts, Wasatch-Cache National ForestFire Danger & RestrictionsFire Danger: "The resultant descriptor of the combination of both constant and variable factors which affect the initiation, spread and difficulty of control of wildfires on an area." In 1974, the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and state forestry organizations established a standard description for five levels of fire danger for use in public information releases and fire prevention signing. In 2000, the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) Fire Danger Working Team reviewed and slightly revised these terms and definitions for adjective fire danger. Because every location is unique in its own way, you will need to contact your local Forest Service office for the fire danger status.
