Ces incendies qui couvent sous la surface en hiver sont parfois appelés «feux hibernants» ou «feux zombies». Ce sont des incendies qui se déclarent pendant une saison, couvent pendant les mois d’hiver sous la neige et réapparaissent au printemps avant que la foudre et les incendies d’origine humaine ne se manifestent à nouveau. Souvent, ils ne sont visibles à l'œil nu que par de petits panaches de fumée qui s’élèvent dans le ciel hivernal. 4, record 1, French, - feu%20hibernant

Daily Severity Rating - A numerical measure, based on the Fire Weather Index (FWI), specifically designed for averaging, either for any desired period of time (e.g. week, month, year) at a single fire weather station or spatially over a number of stations. The FWI itself, on the other hand, is not considered suitable for averaging, and should be used as its single daily value only. The DSR averaged over a whole fire season is termed the Seasonal Severity Rating (SSR) which can be used as an objective measure for comparing fire weather severity from one season to the next, or the fire climate of one region with another. 2, record 5, English, - seasonal%20severity%20rating
