National Fire Danger Rating System
Overview
 
John J. Keetch, a fire researcher in the southeast, wrote:
"One of the prime objectives of the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) is to provide as accurate a measure as possible of the relative seriousness of burning conditions and thereby, NFDRS can serve as an aid to fire control programs."


In 1954 there were eight different fire-danger rating systems in use across the county.
