Abstract
The need to address the national fire problem in the US by establishing protocols for producing monthly and seasonal wildland fire outlooks utilizing integrated information of climate, weather, fuels and fires, was presented. The first comprehensive seasonal fire potential outlook for the US was produced in a meeting of the fire weather meteorologists, fire and fuels specialists, management and climatologists. Communication between climate forecasters and geographic area coordination centers (GACC) specialists was strongly encouraged. The final outlook product was a combination of the quantitative information including historical, present and seasonal predictions and forecaster judgment.
