The Fire Danger Rating System (FDRS) used by the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) since 2003 will be improved with a new product, namely, fire forecasting, by the end of this year, said Environment and Water Minister Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

He said since 2003, MetMalaysia had provided forest and peat fire warnings through the FDRS to all Asean countries.
