In the Fire Weather Index system, which index represents the overall fire danger rating?

Fire Weather Index

The overall fire danger rating in the Fire Weather Index system is represented by the Fire Weather Index itself. This single value combines information about fuel moisture and how fast a fire could spread to provide a single measure of potential fire severity under current weather conditions. The Fine Fuel Moisture Code and Duff Moisture Code describe moisture in specific fuel layers, while the Initial Spread Index estimates how quickly a fire would spread given those conditions. Together, FFMC, DMC, and ISI feed into the Fire Weather Index to yield the overall danger rating, making the Fire Weather Index the best choice for the general fire danger assessment.
