Fire Danger Ratings
- The Fire Danger Rating is an indicator of how dangerous a bushfire could be if it did occur. It is not a predictor of how likely a bushfire is to occur.
- The higher the Fire Danger Rating, the more dangerous the fire conditions are in that district.
- The CFS, in partnership with the Bureau of Meteorology, determines the Fire Danger Ratings based on a combination of predicted weather conditions and current observations.
- Days 2, 3 and 4 preliminary forecasts should be used as a guide only as ratings may change based on both weather and non-weather related factors.
