2.  Transmit in numerical sequence or fax to the appropriate Fire
    Weather Office. (A weather forecaster on duty will complete the
    special forecast as quickly as possible and transmit the forecast
    and outlook to you by the method requested)

3.  Retain completed copy for your records.

4.  Provide feedback to NWS utilizing Section III, #27 or separate page.
    Be sure to include a copy of the spot forecast with any feedback
    submission including forecaster's name. Feedback to NWS personnel is
    imperative to assist with future forecasts. [Remember, feedback on
    correct forecasts is equally as valuable as feedback on incorrect
    forecasts!]{.underline} If spot forecast is significantly different
    than conditions on site, a second forecast may be required.

**II. ALL RELAY POINTS should use this form to insure completeness of
date and forecast. A supply of this form should be kept by each
dispatcher and all others who may be relaying requests for forecasts or
relaying completed forecasts to field units.**

**III. Forms are available from your local National Weather Service Fire
Weather Forecast Office. They may also be reproduced by other agencies
as needed, entering the phone number and radio identification if
desired.**
