Victoria's fire danger rating system follows the Australian Fire Danger Rating System, which is the same in every state and territory across Australia.
Fire danger ratings provide information so that people can take action to protect themselves and others. The higher the fire danger rating, the more dangerous the conditions, and the more difficult it will be to stop a fire if one starts.
The Victorian community can access information on the Australian Fire Danger Rating System on the VicEmergency website (External link).
Daily Fire Danger Ratings can be found on the CFA website (External link).
The department acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of the land and acknowledges and pays respect to their Elders, past and present.
