What does VERY HIGH danger mean?
VERY HIGH: When the fire danger is VERY HIGH, fires will start easily from most causes. The fires will spread rapidly and have a rapid increase in intensity right after ignition. Small fires can quickly escalate into large fires, exhibiting extreme fire intensity, including long-distance spotting and fire whirls. These fires can be difficult to control and often become much larger and longer-lasting.
