The Fire Weather Index System is one of the modelling components calculated in the Global ECMWF Fire forecast system for the European Forest Fire Integrated Forecasting System (EFFIS).
6 outputs are generated in terms of fire danger indices that are then distributed to the EFFIS network and already used among the European civil protections:
