Book Description
This weather guide includes detailed specifications for locating and instrumenting fire weather stations, taking weather observations, and overwintering the Drought Code component of the FWI System. The sensitivity of the FWI System components to weather elements is represented quantitatively. The importance of weather that is not directly observable is discussed in the context of fuel moisture and fire behavior. Current developments in the observation and measurement of fire weather and the forecasting of fire danger are discussed, along with the implications for the reporting of fire weather of increasingly automated fire management information systems.

Book Description
Excerpt from Measuring Fire Weather and Forest Inflammability In October or November of each year all meteorological equipment should be checked over, and before April 1 all damaged instruments should be repaired or replaced. At stations where measurements are discontinued at the close of each fire season all instruments should be carefully cleaned at that time and safely stored to prevent theft or damage during the winter. Unless this is done there may be un desirable delay in beginning measurements in the spring. Chart forms for all automatic recording instruments should always be clearly labelled to show station represented and dates included. It is best to write the date above the noon line for each day, and the station name in the blank space at one end of the chart. Proper designation of each chart record is highly important in order to prevent confusion and perhaps later loss of the data.

Book Description
Weather is never static. It is always dynamic. Its interpretation is an art. The art of applying complex information about weather to the equally complex task of wildland fire control cannot be acquired easily especially not by the mere reading of a book. The environment is in control in wildland firefighting. Free-burning fires are literally nourished by weather elements, atmospheric components, and atmospheric motion. Outguessing Mother Nature in order to win control is an extremely difficult task. We need to soothe her with understanding. We have attempted to present information in such a way that your daily and seasonal awareness of fire weather can begin with reliable basic knowledge. We have kept the use of technical terms to a minimum, but where it was necessary for clear and accurate presentation, we have introduced and defined the proper terms. Growing awareness of fire weather, when combined with related experience on fires, can develop into increasingly intuitive, rapid, and accurate applications.
