Description:
The 2000-2009 national fire perimeter data layer was developed in support of WFDSS for the 2010 fire season. The objective of the layer is to display historic national fire perimeter polygons in WFDSS. This layer will be expanded and grown upon in future years. The 2009 layer was created using the WFDSS 2001-2008 national fire history perimeter data, the interagency California 2009 data, Alaska 2009 data, and the remaining 47 States 2009 fire perimeter data from GeoMAC. The layer contains only those fires 100 acres and larger and from the time period of 2000-2009 from the data sources listed below. Last updated 08-23-2010.
