Class Ignition Potential Interpretation
Low Low probability of fire starts.
Medium Moderate probability of fire starts in areas of local dryness.
High Grass fuels becoming easily ignitable. Higher probability of fire starts.
Extreme Grass fuels highly flammable. Very high probability of fire starts.
