FIRE DANGER
FIRE DANGER Ratings in Missoula County
The kinds of fuel on our landscape, the amount of rain that falls, the direction of the wind, the day's temperature and humidity --
these factors all help
fire professionals determine what kind of FIRE DANGER exists in Missoula County during wildfire season. In
times of HIGH fire danger, even a small ignition can lead quickly to a catastrophic wildfire - particularly if your local FIRE AGENCY
RESOURCES ARE BUSY fighting a wildfire somewhere else. When wildland fires occur at the fringes of our communities, where rural- or
wildland-fire response is always limited, these ignitions can and do threaten and destroy family dwellings.
