Forecasters require verification of their spot forecasts to help improve those forecasts and fire and emergency management personnel need to be able to develop confidence regarding the skill of those forecastsTo demonstrate the capabilities of the tools developed, we limit this study to evaluating quantitatively selected forecast variables (temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed). hese variables are central to estimates of fire spread rates and hence affect fire management and containment activities.
