Originator:
The original fuel rank based on fire behavior layer was developed as a coverage named frnk02_2
by California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Rr_fuel_rank.shp was created by Circuit Rider
Productions, Inc. Rr_fuel_rank represents the portion of the fuel rank layer within the Russian River basin. Polygon features from the original source data were selected based on their spatial location within the extent of the Russian River basin. . This metadata file incorporates information that is specific to this layer as well as information that is available in the original metadata file for the fuel rank layer (frnk02_2.txt). The portions of this metadata file that borrow text from frnk02_2
are indicated in quotation marks.

Description:
"CDF has developed a fuel assessment methodology for
the California Fire Plan. The fuel ranking
methodology assigns ranks based on expected fire
behavior for unique combinations of topography and
vegetative fuels under a given severe weather
condition (wind speed, humidity, and temperature)."
Purpose:
"Used to identify and prioritize pre-fire projects that
reduce costs and losses from large fire events."
Supplemental Information:
"The fuel ranking procedure makes an initial assessment
of rank based on an assigned fuel model (see surface
fuels) and slope, then raised ranks based on the
amount of ladder and/or crown fuel present to arrive
at a fuel rank. For a detailed description of the
data and methods, please visit http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/
data/fire_data/fuel_rank/mainframes.html."
