The State of California's Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection produces fire threat maps that
display the potential for fire events across the state.
These maps are based upon fuel rank and the frequency
of fires in a given area. Factors used to determine
fule rank include the type of fuel present in the
area, slope of the land and the density of brush and
trees. Areas on this map in deep red have an extremely
high threat of fire while yellow areas have a low
threat of fire. Gray areas are considered to be lacking
in adequate fuel.
This map and others produced by the Department
of Forestry and Fire Protection can be seen at the
California
Department of Forestry Website.
