- Abstract
- Forest Fire Danger Forecasts from Foret-Meteo were used in Quebec for the first time during the 1967 forest fire season. The control offices, generally being the offices of the protection associations and forestry districts, transmitted by teletype the daily sun noon observations required by the Service. With the meteorologist's weather forecast for different areas and the sun noon observations, the Forecast Service was able to prepare and distribute, twice daily, forecast fire danger indexes covering 65 zones of the province.
