Fire danger rating chart below:

Class 1: A class 1 day is a day a forest fire is not likely to start. (LOW)

Class 2: A class 2 day the danger is MODERATE, but it is possible for fires to start in light flashy fuels but will have a slow rate of spread.

Class 3: A class 3 day the fire danger is HIGH and fine fuels in open areas and sunny slopes may spread rapidly.

Class 4: A class 4 day the fire danger is VERY HIGH and fires will start easily from all causes. Fires will spread rapidly and increase in intensity rapidly meaning they will be hard to extinguish. Spot fires may occur and, except in spring, will burn deep.

Class 5: A class 5 day the danger is EXTREME. Small fires will spread very rapidly meaning they will be hard to extinguish. Severe spotting may occur and mop-up will require a great deal of effort.
