Cover Story: Prescribed fire is a critical land management practice in the Great Plains, helping to maintain native rangelands and reduce wildfire risk. However, perceived risks and concerns about legal liability continue to hinder its widespread adoption. Dead fuel moisture content (DFMC) and grass curing represent two important moisture factors in grassland fire risk assessment. DFMC reflects short-term fuel moisture that affects ignition and fire spread. Grass curing represents seasonal drying that controls fuel availability. In this study, we developed user-friendly sub-models for DFMC and grass curing, which serve as components of a localized Grassland Fire Danger Index for prescribed fire management in the Great Plains.
