Fire Danger Index

I’m wondering how the Fire Danger Index that I see on many sites is actually calculated. Most don’t seem to be set to a particular pattern. In Australia we now have a new scale which is set by the Fire Authorites. I live in an area that is significantly affected by bush fire dangers, so how can I keep the scale relevent to the Australia scale and properly updated.

Any help or education appreciated.

There have been a lot of posts and threads on this recently explaining how it works; you would probably be advised to do a Search on that or “FDI” and in WD Questions board.
