The Predictive Services Unit began producing wildland fire potential outlooks during the 2002 fire season. Over time, these outlooks have been through many iterations and have changed over time with regard to their constituent products, time frame covered, timing of issuance, and categories of potential. Using these outlooks to make inferences about relative fire season severity may result in comparing dissimilar information or time frames.
