Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Fire threat provides a measure of fuel conditions and fire potential in the ecosystem, representing the </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>relative likelihood of “damaging” or difficult to control wildfire occurring for a given area. Fire Threat is </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>not a risk assessment by itself, but can be used to assess the potential for impacts on various assets </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>and values susceptible to fire. Impacts are more likely to occur and/or be of increased severity for the </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>higher threat classes.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Fire threat is a combination of two factors: 1) fire probability, or the likelihood of a given area burning, </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>and 2) potential fire behavior (hazard). These two factors are combined to create 5 threat classes ranging </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>from low to extreme.This version (fthrt14_2) is an update created from fthrt14_1 (created for the </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>FRAP 2017 Forest and Rangeland Assessment). Fire Rotation data in fthrt14_1 was replaced with </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Annual Fire Probability data. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>For more information, contact us by phone (916) 327-3939 or by email frapwebmaster@fire.ca.gov</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
