Fire Weather Systems. The Agencies to this Agreement will cooperate in the gathering, processing, and use of fire weather data, including the purchase of compatible weather sensing platforms and when feasible, making joint use of computer software. Agencies are in agreement that all weather stations used for National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) purposes will be subject to the Standards contained in publication PMS 426‐3, NWCG NFDRS Weather Station Standards, ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/sites/default/files/products/pms426- 3.pdf. State and Federal Agencies will, through the appropriate venue (currently FIRESCOPE’s Predictive Services Specialist’s Group), strive to jointly evaluate any proposed new California weather station locations, in order to prevent unnecessary redundancy. NFDRS is the common and agreed upon fire danger rating system.
