risk level name	risk level description
1:Limited	Low humidity and breezy conditions will result in an increased danger of fires getting out of control.
2:Elevated	Low humidity and windy conditions will create dangerous fire conditions. Fires can escape control more easily and be difficult to contain.
3:Significant	High winds and extended dry periods will produce extreme burning conditions. Open fires can quickly escape and are very difficult to control, even for experienced fire fighters.
4:Extreme	Very strong winds, combined with low humidity, will create extremely volatile conditions. Fires will spread very quickly with spot fires common. Fire control will be extremely difficult.

Sunday: Fire Weather Risk
