and maintained by the Northern
Rockies Coordination Center (NRCC).
Information presented on this website
is public domain and may be distributed
or copied freely. Use of appropriate
byline, photo or image credits is
requested. The NRCC website is designed
to provide general fire information
for the public and as a source of
fire intelligence for the wildland
fire community pertaining to wildland
fires occurring in Montana, North
Dakota, northern Idaho, and Yellowstone
National Park. Various components
of the website are updated throughout
the day from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
(April 1 - September 30). |

| This website IS
NOT a "real-time"
website, nor
is it designed to be an "incident-specific"
website. Although we strive to get
information to the site as quickly
as we receive it, we completely rely
upon the unit or team responsible
for managing the fire to provide us
with information. The NRCC website
covers all large fires throughout
the Northern Rockies Geographic Area
and is not the "official"
website for any individual fire. The
NRCC provides no warranty, expressed
or implied, as to accuracy, reliability,
timeliness, or completeness of the
information furnished. |

| The Predictive Services
Group at the Northern Rockies Coordination
Center utilizes the most recent data
available to produce daily, weekly,
monthly, and seasonal Fire Weather
/ Fire Danger Outlooks. The intent
of the Outlooks are to provide fire
managers with as much detailed information
to assist them in being prepared for
the forthcoming period. Although the
Group adheres to a policy of being
as accurate as possible in their Outlooks,
the variability in weather can change
over a course of time causing the
possibility of mis-calculations. Therefore,
use of these products is at your discretion. |

| Below is an example
of the information collected based
on a standard request for a World
Wide Web document. xxx.yyy.com
- - [ 28/Jan/1997: 00:00:01 -0500]

xxx.yyy.com (or
123.123.23.12) -- this is the host
name (or IP address) associated
with the requester (you as the visitor).
In this case, (.com) the requester
is coming from a commercial address.
Depending on the requester's method
of network connection, the host
name (or IP address) may or may
not identify a specific computer.
Connections via many Internet Service
Providers assign different IP addresses
for each session, so the host name
identifies only the ISP. The host
name (or IP address) will identify
a specific computer if that computer
has a fixed IP address.
