Abstract
The factors used in the construction of McArthur's (1958) fire danger tables are discussed briefly. The use of the tables to estimate fire danger and predict fire behaviour is discussed, and the effects of fuel quantity, fuel types, slope, diurnal changes in fuel moisture content, recent rainfall, large fuel components, and a number of other minor factors are described.Keywords
