Abstract: To forecast forest fires,a forest fire danger rating system is important. The Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) is currently one of the most widely used and complete systems in the world and is the only system that can adapt to any scale from regional to global levels. Within CFFDRS,the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) System is the most important component. FWI,based on a theory utilizing time lag and equilibrium moisture content,calculates changes in fuel moisture according to weather conditions and then determines the potential fire danger rating by location or size of forest fuel. This study provides a simple introduction to development of the FWI system along with its basic structure and programs as well as its strengths and limitations. Developing a forest fire danger rating system for China based on FWI technology is also discussed.[Ch,1 fig. 1 tab. 22 ref.]
