National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS)-Low - ANSFire will not readily ignite fire brands
National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS)-Moderate - ANSWhen the fire danger is
"moderate" it means that fires can start from most accidental causes,
National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS)-High - ANSWhen the fire danger is "high", fires
can start easily from most causes and small fuels (such as grasses and needles) will ignite
readily.
National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS)-Very High - ANSWhen the fire danger is "very
high", fires will start easily from most causes. The fires will spread rapidly and have a quick
increase in intensity, right after ignition.
National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS)-Extreme - ANSWhen the fire danger is
"extreme", fires of all types start quickly and burn intensely. All fires are potentially serious and
can spread very quickly with intense burning.
Rate of Spread-Slow - ANSNo movement
Rate of Spread-Moderate - ANSLess than 1MPH
Rate of Spread- Dangerous - ANS1-3 MPH
Rate of Spread Critical - ANS3+ MPH
