Risk Levels

Fire Weather Risk

risk level name	risk level description
1:1	Open burning is usually safe with the proper precautions. Burning should be done in the early morning and late evening to avoid windier and drier conditions from midday through mid afternoon.
2:2	Any open burning is discouraged due to windy conditions and lower humidity. Fires can escape control more easily and be difficult to contain.
3:3	Open burning should not be attempted. 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. Conditions will exceed minimum Red Flag Criteria in most cases.
4:4	Very strong winds, combined with low humidity, will create extremely volatile conditions well in excess of Red Flag Criteria. Fires will spread very quickly with spot fires common. Fire control will be extremely difficult.
