What fire danger ratings mean

Fire danger ratings summarize current conditions. They do not replace official restrictions, closures, evacuation notices, or emergency guidance.

• Low: Lower fire danger with normal caution still recommended.
• Moderate: Elevated conditions where extra care is needed.
• High: Fire risk is high and restrictions may already be active.
• Very High: Dangerous conditions with a strong chance of restrictions.
• Extreme: Extreme fire danger with severe restrictions likely.
