Fire Danger Ratings
The Bush Fire Danger Ratings give you an indication of the possible consequences of a fire, if one was to start.
Bush Fire Danger Ratings are based on predicted conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind and the dryness of the landscape.
The higher the fire danger rating, the more dangerous the conditions.
Check the fire danger rating for your area.
