Fire danger is a critical concern in both the USA (particularly western states like California, Oregon, and Arizona during fire seasons) and Brazil (especially in the Amazon region and central-west during dry months). In the USA, the National Weather Service and local fire departments regularly publish fire danger indices. In Brazil, INPE (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais) monitors fire danger levels, particularly important given deforestation and climate patterns affecting the Amazon rainforest.
