Description	The state of South Australia has been divided INTO 15 fire weather districts, which are used by the Bureau of Meteorology and the SA CFS to provide daily fire danger ratings to the community. These fire ban districts also form the basis of geographical locations used to declare total fire ban days. They are also used by the State Bushfire Coordination Committee to gazette the start and finish of the annual fire danger season for South Australia.
Dataset Use	They are used to communicate fire weather information to the community, including fire danger season dates, daily fire danger ratings, and total fire bans.
