The objective of the present review is to analyze and evaluate the most used and well-
performing environmental forest fire danger rating systems and indices globally, aiming to …

The suggestion has been made within the wildland fire community that the rate of spread in
the upper portion of the fire danger spectrum is largely independent of the physical fuel …
