{ "culture": "en-US", "name": "", "guid": "", "catalogPath": "", "snippet": "", "description": "Similar to the Richter scale for earthquakes, FIS provides a standard scale to measure potential wildfire intensity. FIS consist of 5 classes where the order of magnitude between classes is ten-fold. The minimum class, Class 1, represents very low wildfire intensities and the maximum class, Class 5, represents very high wildfire intensities. Refer to descriptions below.Class 1, Very Low:Very small, discontinuous flames, usually less than 1 foot in length; very low rate of spread; no spotting. Fires are typically easy to suppress by firefighters with basic training and non-specialized equipment.Class2, Low:Small flames, usually less than two feet long; small amount of very short range spotting possible. Fires are easy to suppress by trained firefighters with protective equipment and specialized tools.Class 3, Moderate:Flames up to 8 feet in length; short-range spotting is possible. Trained firefighters will find these fires difficult to suppress without support from aircraft or engines, but dozer and plows are generally effective. Increasing potential for harm or damage to life and property.Class 4, High:Large Flames, up to 30 feet in length; short-range spotting common; medium range spotting possible. Direct attack by trained firefighters, engines, and dozers is generally ineffective, indirect attack may be effective. Significant potential for harm or damage to life and property.Class 5, Very High:Very large flames up to 150 feet in length; profuse short-range spotting, frequent long-range spotting; strong fire-induced winds. Indirect attack marginally effective at the head of the fire. Great potential for harm or damage to life and property.For all Southern states, except Florida and Texas, this dataset was derived from updated fuels and canopy data as part of the 2010 risk assessment update project recently completed in 2014. For Texas, the 2010 Texas risk update data is portrayed. For Florida, the 2010 Florida risk assessment update data is shown. To aid in viewing on the map, FIS is presented in 1/2 class increments.
