Fire Danger Calculator

Use this to calculate fire danger from weather and landscape variables. When you enter weather and landscape variables (see just below the chart), fire danger is plotted on the chart. Drag the sliders to see how fire danger can change with changing conditions. Fire Danger Calculator was created by San Diego Fire-Rescue Captain Craig Neilson, based on the National Fire Danger Rating System. It was adapted for the website with the help of San Diego Fire-Rescue Fire Fighter Paramedic Mitch Mendler and North County Dispatch Communications Supervisor Charlie Knust.
