Abstract: The monthly number of forest fires in Georgia from 1951 to 1958 is compared with the monthly mean values of weather elements to determine the relationship of fire danger severity to one or more of these elements. Although variations in human behavior unrelated to weather contribute to fire occurrence, a parameter composed of two of these weather elements, the relative humidity at 1330 EST and the maximum temperature, is found to be highly significant. This parameter is then used to estimate frequency of severe fire conditions from 1918 to 1951 when complete fire records were not maintained.
