Do you know your fire danger ratings?

Fire danger ratings:

❌ don't show how likely a bushfire is to start or how dangerous current fires are
✅ do show how difficult it will be to control/suppress a fire on the day
✅ are based on weather and fuel conditions.

🔥 Warnings are issued for extreme or catastrophic fire danger ratings.

Know your weather. Know your risk.
