  9. Temperature Wind Speed Relative Humidity 24 hour Rainfall Wind Speed Temperature Relative Humidity 24 hour Rainfall Temperature 24 hour Rainfall Weather Observations Duff Moisture Code (DMC) Drought Code (DC) Fine Fuel Moisture Code (FFMC) Fuel Moisture Codes Initial Spread Index (ISI) Build Up Index (BUI) Fire Behaviour Indicies FWI System Fire Weather Index (FWI)

  10. Canadian Forest Fire Behaviour Prediction (FBP) System Elapsed time, point or line ignition FFMC, ISI, BUI, wind speed and direction Elevation, latitude/longitude, date FBP System fuel type Percent slope, upslope direction Type and duration of prediction Foliar Moisture Content Topography Fuels Weather INPUTS OUTPUTS Primary Outputs Secondary Outputs • Head, Flank and Back Fire Spread Distances • Flank and Back Fire Rates of Spread • Flank and Back Fire Intensities • Elliptical Fire Area and Perimeter • Rate of Perimeter Growth • Rate of Spread • Head Fire Intensity • Total Fuel Consumption • Crown Fraction Burned • Fire Type

  11. Preparedness Guideline Levels

  12. Fire Suppression Capability

  13. Preparedness Guidelines Wildfire Ignition Probability Predictor (System) POI = Probability of Ignition

  14. Preparedness Guideline Levels

  15. Response ALERTS • set for each zone daily. • determined through an average wx station value. • average wx station value determined from ~ 5 stations per zone.
