As a consumer of ASA weather warnings, I need consistent language used in communicating warnings to ground crew and support staff so that various fire danger levels related to weather are easily interpreted.

[ ] Collect and archive examples of Fire Weather warnings for each Fire Centre from Matt or another Forecaster.
[ ] Establish terminology norms for weather warnings.
Background:
Given that wildfire ground crews and interagency teams are trained on the CFFDRS and share a consistent understanding of the technical terms and indices used in fire weather forecasting, we need to establish set terminology that Matt's team wishes to use in their Fire Weather Forecasts. ECCC classification of five different levels of fire danger:
Low: Minimal fire activity expected; fires are unlikely to ignite.
Moderate: Some potential for fire ignition; fires may start but are typically controllable.
High: Fires are likely to start easily and spread rapidly; vigilance is required.
Very High: Fires start easily, spread quickly, and are challenging to control.
Extreme: Fires are expected to be severe, with rapid spread and high intensity; aggressive suppression efforts are necessary.
