Learn how to check your Daily Fire Danger Rating

Fire Danger Ratings let you know how dangerous a fire would be if one broke out in your area today.

Ratings are calculated using a combination of weather forecasting and information about vegetation that could fuel a fire.

The Australian Fire Danger Rating System is nationally consistent, so wherever you go in Australia, you can understand the level of threat and what you need to do to stay safe.

Find out more about Fire Danger Ratings and what actions you should take at each rating level on the Queensland Fire Department website.
