dc.description.abstract Fire danger indices (FDI) describe the conditions that influence ease of ignition, rate of spread and the impact caused by fires. It is used to assess the safety of prescribed burning activities, to improve real-time fire fighting preparedness and in logistic planning of fire fighting resources. In this study historical fire activity from remotely sensed data are compared with various FDIs to identify which index has the strongest statistical relationship with fire occurrences and therefore the highest forecasting potential for fires in the future. en_US
