The Oklahoma Fire Danger Model is a cooperative effort between Oklahoma State University and the Fire Sciences Laboratory, with programming and operational support from the University of Oklahoma. The KBDI index is updated once daily. The model is used extensively in Oklahoma for management decisions related to prescribed burning as well as wildfire outbreaks. It is used to assist the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Forestry Division, in declaring Red Flag Fire Alert days and in recommending Burn Bans to the Governor. The Boise Fire Weather Office provides staff support to the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho.
