USDA Forest Service 20260503 061852 vector digital data http://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php The FIRESTAT (Fire Statistics System) Fire Occurrence point layer represents ignition points, or points of origin, from which individual wildland fires started on National Forest System lands. The source is the FIRESTAT database, which contains records of fire occurrence, related fire behavior conditions, and the suppression actions taken by management taken from the Individual Wildland Fire Report. This publicly available dataset is updated annually for all years previous to January 1 on or after February 16th. The FIRESTAT database contains current year and historical (dating back to 1987) Forest Service fire occurrence data and is used in analysis and reporting. The FIRESTAT point feature class is useful in making land and resource management decisions, in fire planning, and in quality control of the tabular database. It can be used to produce spatially enabled business intelligence reports. 20190101 Publication Date Complete Annually -177.721667 121.485556 84.921667 0.000000 ISO 19115 Topic Categories biota None FIRESTAT wildfire fire occurrence ignition points None The USDA Forest Service makes no warranty, expressed or implied, including the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, nor assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, completeness or utility of these geospatial data, or for the improper or incorrect use of these geospatial data.

SM.FS.data@usda.gov Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.9.1.28388 The dataset adheres to the data standards outlined in the Forest Service Fire Statistics System (FIRESTAT) User Guide For The Individual Wildland Fire Report, FS-5100-29, pp. 1-87, 5/16/2016. Data is complete as of publication. An Individual Wildland Fire Report (FS-5100-29) is prepared for each unplanned ignition that burns or threatens to burn on National Forest System lands or on lands for which the Forest Service has protection or responsibility. The origin (latitude/longitude) is input to the form. These coordinates are then converted to a point feature class and automatically updated using an Extract/Transform/Load (ETL) procedure. 20190101 Vector Entity point 329480 S_USA.Fire_Occurrence_FIRESTAT_YRLY Feature class: A collection of geographic features with the same geometry type (such as point, line, or polygon), the same attributes, and the same spatial reference.

FIRESTAT Data Dictionary, 2006 Code FIRE_NUMBER Fire Number. Part of the unique key in FIRESTAT. Description and action to be taken: Enter the Supervisor's Office (SO) fire number, a number from 001 to 999 (must enter leading zeroes). The SO fire number should be the next available consecutive number. Supervisor's Office numbers should be consecutive, without gaps, unless there is a significant local need to do otherwise. Gaps in the numbering sequence often cause future questions over whether or not the fire record for a Forest is complete. This information, combined with the year of discovery, give each fire report a unique identity. Note: The fire number is not generated by the system, which greatly increases the likelihood of gaps in consecutive numbering. If a duplicate number is entered, a system error message appears.
