Abstract: The Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was used to evaluate fire hazard of non-commercial pine-beech forests in Tiger Mountain, Nanning. The data collection, input and output for FCCS were introduced, especially the input of environmental variables and their effects on the calculation of surface fire behavior. The results showed that all the forest types were of low reaction intensity and low rate of spread during the inventory season (AprilMay, 2013). If the environment becomes dry and reaches the FCCS D2L2 moisture condition, plot 3 (an open forest of pine, 28-year-old) may have a high FCCS potential with a high reaction intensity and a high spread rate. As it can be customized with small-scale plot inventory data, FCCS may provide reliable fire hazard predictions to guide fire control decision making, identify high risk locations and prioritize fuel treatment of the locations
