For more information on fire weather go to http://radar.srh.noaa.gov/fire/. Fire danger rises as the "fuels" (sagebrush, juniper, cheatgrass, etc., in Nevada) dry out and are easily ignited, and can move quickly. In many areas of the Great Basin last winter there was lower precipitation than usual.
