Fire Danger Rating System

The Fire Danger Rating System (FDRS) is a forest/vegetation fire monitoring system that provides information to support fire management. FDRS products are used as a guide to predict fire behaviour, with the objective to help stakeholders make informed decisions on fire mitigation and smoke haze pollution.

FDRS uses measured meteorological variables such as temperature, relative humidity, rainfall and wind speed collected from meteorological stations in the Southeast Asia region.

The products are produced daily by the Malaysia Meteorological Department.
