We have curated a dataset to address the problem of forest fire detection. All images in the dataset are 3-channeled with spatial resolution of 250 × 250. We have retrieved these images by searching various search terms in multiple search engines. Afterwards, we thoroughly investigated these images to crop and remove the inappropriate components such as people, fire-extinguishing machinery etc. We ensured that each image only contain the relevant fire region. The dataset is designed for binary problem of fire or no-fire detection in the forests landscape. It is a balanced dataset consisting of 1900 images in total, where 950 images belong to each class. We have divided the dataset into 80:20 for training and testing purposes in our study.

The US National Interagency Fire Center “is home to the national fire management programs of each federal fire agency, along with partners,” such as the National Weather Service. It provides a range of aggregate statistics as HTML tables, including firefighting suppression costs by year, the number and size of human-caused wildfires by year and geography, similar counts for lightning-caused fires, and prescribed fires by year and agency. Reader Michael Nolan has converted the prescribed fire tables, which cover 1998 to 2019, into CSV files.

Additional fields such as Category and Structure Type are based off fields needed in the Incident Status Summary (ICS 209).

Please review the DINS database dictionary for additional information.

First, we would like to thank the wildland fire advisory group. Their wisdom and guidance helped us build the dataset as it currently exists. This dataset is comprised of two different zip files. Zip File 1: The data within this zip file are composed of two wildland fire datasets. (1) A merged dataset consisting of 40 different wildfire and prescribed fire layers. The original 40 layers were all freely obtained from the internet or provided to the authors free of charge with permission to use them. The merged layers were altered to contain a consistent set of attributes including names, IDs, and dates. This raw merged dataset contains all original polygons many of which are duplicates of the same fire. This dataset also contains all the errors, inconsistencies, and other issues that caused some of the data to be excluded from the combined dataset. Care should be used when working with this dataset as individual records may contain errors that can be more easily identified in the combined dataset. (2) A combined wildland fire polygon dataset composed of both wildfires and prescribed fires ranging in years from mid 1800s to the present that was created by merging and dissolving fire information from 40 different original wildfire datasets to create one of the most comprehensive wildfire datasets available. Attributes describing fires that were reported in the various sources are also merged, including fire names, fire codes, fire IDs, fire dates, fire causes. Zip File 2: The fire polygons were turned into 30 meter rasters representing various summary counts: (a) count of all wildland fires that burned a pixel, (b) count of wildfires that burned a pixel, (c) the first year a wildfire burned a pixel, (d) the most recent year a wildfire burned a pixel, and (e) count of prescribed fires that burned a pixel.

The FinalFirePerimeter polygon layer represents final mapped wildland fire perimeters. This feature class is a subset of the FirePerimeters feature class. Incidents of 10 acres or greater in size are expected. Incidents smaller than 10 acres in size may also be included. Data are maintained at the Forest/District level, or their equivalent, to track the area affected by wildland fire. Records in FirePerimeter include perimeters for wildland fires that have corresponding records in FIRESTAT, which is the authoritative data source for all wildland fire reports. FIRESTAT, the Fire Statistics System computer application, required by the USFS for all wildland fire occurrences on National Forest System Lands or National Forest-protected lands, is used to enter and maintain information from the Individual Fire Report (FS-5100-29).National USFS fire occurrence final fire perimeters where wildland fires have historically occurred on National Forest System Lands and/or where protection is the responsibility of the US Forest Service. Knowing where wildland fire events have happened in the past is critical to land management efforts in the future.This data is utilized by fire & aviation staffs, land managers, land planners, and resource specialists on and around National Forest System Lands.*This data has been updated to match 2021 National GIS Data Dictionary Standards.Metadata and Downloads

Fire Detection Data Pre

## Overview

Fire Detection Data Pre is a dataset for object detection tasks - it contains Fire annotations for 2,000 images.

## Getting Started

You can download this dataset for use within your own projects, or fork it into a workspace on Roboflow to create your own model.

  ## License

  This dataset is available under the [CC BY 4.0 license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/CC BY 4.0).

The dataset comprises 4 fire experiments (repeated 3 times) and 3 nuisance experiments (Ethanol: repeated 3 times, Deodorant: repeated 2 times, Hairspray: repeated 1 time), with various background sequences interspersed between the conducted experiments. All exeriments were caried out in random order to reduce the influence of prehistory. It consists of a total of 305,304 rows and 16 columns, structured as a continuous multivariate time series. Each row represents the sensor measurements (CO2, CO, H2, humidity, particulate matter of different sizes, air temperature, and UV) from a unique sensor node position in the EN54 test room at a specific timestamp. The columns correspond to the sensor measurements and include additional labels: a scenario-specific label ("scenario_label"), a binary label ("anomaly_label") distinguishing between "Normal" (background) and "Anomaly" (fire or nuisance scenario), a ternary label ("ternary_label") categorizing the data as "Nuisance," "Fire," or "Background," and a progress label ("progress_label") that allows for dividing the event sequences into sub-sequences based on ongoing physical sub-processes. The dataset comprises 82.98% background data points and 17.02% anomaly data points, which can be further divided into 12.50% fire anomaly data points and 4.52% nuisance anomaly data points. The "Sensor_ID" column can be utilized to access data from different sensor node positions.

This data set is part of an ongoing project to consolidate interagency fire point data. The incorporation of all available historical data is in progress.The InFORM (Interagency Fire Occurrence Reporting Modules) FODR (Fire Occurrence Data Records) are the official record of fire events. Built on top of IRWIN (Integrated Reporting of Wildland Fire Information), the FODR starts with an IRWIN record and then captures the final incident information upon certification of the record by the appropriate local authority. This service contains all wildland fire incidents from the InFORM FODR incident service that meet the following criteria:Categorized as a Wildfire (WF) or Prescribed Fire (RX) recordIs Valid and not "quarantined" due to potential conflicts with other recordsNo "fall-off" rules are applied to this service.Service is a real time display of data.Warning: Please refrain from repeatedly querying the service using a relative date range.

The FireOccurrence point layer represents ignition points, or points of origin, from which individual USFS wildland fires started. Data are maintained at the Forest/District level, or their equivalent, to track the occurrence and the origin of individual USFS wildland fires. Forests are working to include historical data, which may be incomplete.National USFS fire occurrence locations where wildland fires have historically occurred on National Forest System Lands and/or where protection is the responsibility of the US Forest Service. Knowing where wildland fire events have happened in the past is critical to land management efforts in the future.This data is utilized by fire & aviation staffs, land managers, land planners, and resource specialists on and around National Forest System Lands. The attributes included within the FireOccurrence point layer are needed to meet the needs of the US Forest Service, for data exchange between interagency data systems, to relate to the FirePerimeter polygon data layer and various fire data systems, and to track the locations of wildland fires.*This data has been updated to match 2021 National GIS Data Dictionary Standards.Metadata and DownloadsThis record was taken from the USDA Enterprise Data Inventory that feeds into the https://data.gov catalog. Data for this record includes the following resources: ISO-19139 metadata ArcGIS Hub Dataset ArcGIS GeoService CSV Shapefile GeoJSON KML For complete information, please visit https://data.gov.

The Fire Incident Dispatch Data file contains data that is generated by the Starfire Computer Aided Dispatch System. The data spans from the time the incident is created in the system to the time the incident is closed in the system. It covers information about the incident as it relates to the assignment of resources and the Fire Department’s response to the emergency. To protect personal identifying information in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), specific locations of incidents are not included and have been aggregated to a higher level of detail.

This model combines stand density index (SDI), basal area loss, drought stress, and insect and disease surveys using an equal weight overlay. SDI determines the relative density of a stand, and was used in this model to identify where the density of small diameter trees is high. Basal area loss is defined as "the expectation that, without remediation, 25 percent or more of the standing live basal area of trees greater than 1 inch in diameter will die over the next 15 years (starting in 2005)." For the purposes of the New Mexico State Assessment, the basal area loss data layer represents areas of dense forest/woodlands with large diameter trees expected to experience mortality from insect and disease. SDI and basal area loss data layers were derived as a part of the 2006 National Insect and Disease Risk Map (NIDRM) and based on New Mexico's Forest Inventory Analysis Data from 1987-1999. Moisture stress depicts percent of normal precipitation for winter precipitation from 2006-2008 and was derived from PRISM precipitation data. Insect and disease outbreaks data was limited to past occurrence flyover data for western spruce budwrom and western tent catepillar and are based on USFS Forest Health Aerial Survey data from 1987-2008 .

The "Forest Fire Dataset" is a comprehensive and meticulously curated resource, specifically designed to support the development of algorithms for forest fire detection and object detection tasks. The dataset consists of 2,974 images dedicated to fire classification, which are divided into two primary categories: the first category includes images documenting active forest fires, while the second category contains images of intact, fire-free forest environments. This clear distinction within the dataset is crucial for training models to accurately differentiate between fire-affected and unaffected areas in forested regions. In addition to the fire classification data, the dataset includes 1,690 images dedicated to object detection, enhancing its applicability in machine learning and computer vision research.

The dataset is carefully structured with a thoughtful distribution across training, validation, and test sets, with proportions of 80%, 15%, and 5%, respectively, to ensure that models trained on this data can generalize effectively to new, unseen data. The data were collected from various online sources and underwent rigorous manual filtering to maintain high data integrity. Additionally, a portion of the dataset was generated through controlled simulations of forest fires, conducted after obtaining the necessary approvals from relevant authorities. This simulated portion adds diversity and reliability to the dataset, providing a more comprehensive training ground for algorithms.

By integrating both real-world and simulated scenarios, the "Forest Fire Dataset" offers a robust foundation for developing advanced fire detection systems, significantly contributing to forest conservation and disaster management efforts.

For scientific research and advanced applications in the fields of forest fire detection and computer vision, the "Forest Fire Dataset" is a valuable tool. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to refer to the published article that details the development of the system based on this dataset.

Interagency Wildland Fire Perimeter History (IFPH) Overview This national fire history perimeter data layer of conglomerated agency perimeters was developed in support of the WFDSS application and wildfire decision support. The layer encompasses the fire perimeter datasets of the USDA Forest Service, US Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service, the Alaska Interagency Fire Center, CalFire, and WFIGS History. Perimeters are included thru the 2024 fire season. Requirements for fire perimeter inclusion, such as minimum acreage requirements, are set by the contributing agencies. WFIGS, NPS and CALFIRE data now include Prescribed Burns. Data InputSeveral data sources were used in the development of this layer, links are provided where possible below. In addition, many agencies are now using WFIGS as their authoritative source, beginning in mid-2020.Alaska fire history (WFIGS pull for updates began 2022)USDA FS Regional Fire History Data (WFIGS pull for updates began 2024)BLM Fire Planning and Fuels (WFIGS pull for updates began 2020)National Park Service - Includes Prescribed Burns (WFIGS pull for updates began 2020)Fish and Wildlife Service (WFIGS pull for updates began 2024)Bureau of Indian Affairs (Incomplete, 2017-2018 from BIA, WFIGS pull for updates began 2020)CalFire FRAS - Includes Prescribed Burns (CALFIRE only source, non-fed fires)WFIGS - updates included since mid-2020, unless otherwise noted Data LimitationsFire perimeter data are often collected at the local level, and fire management agencies have differing guidelines for submitting fire perimeter data. Often data are collected by agencies only once annually. If you do not see your fire perimeters in this layer, they were not present in the sources used to create the layer at the time the data were submitted. A companion service for perimeters entered into the WFDSS application is also available, if a perimeter is found in the WFDSS service that is missing in this Agency Authoritative service or a perimeter is missing in both services, please contact the appropriate agency Fire GIS Contact listed in the table below.Attributes This dataset implements the NWCG Wildland Fire Perimeters (polygon) data standard.https://www.nwcg.gov/sites/default/files/stds/WildlandFirePerimeters_definition.pdfIRWINID - Primary key for linking to the IRWIN Incident dataset.

As a service that is subject to very high usage, ensure peak performance and accessibility of your maps and apps by avoiding the use of non-cacheable relative Date/Time field filters. To accommodate filtering events by Date/Time, we suggest using the included "Age" fields that maintain the number of days or hours since a record was created or last modified, compared to the last service update. These queries fully support the ability to cache a response, allowing common query results to be efficiently provided to users in a high demand service environment.When ingesting this service in your applications, avoid using POST requests whenever possible. These requests can compromise performance and scalability during periods of high usage because they too are not cacheable.Source: NASA LANCE - VNP14IMG_NRT active fire detection - WorldScale/Resolution: 375-meterUpdate Frequency: Hourly using the aggregated live feed methodologyArea Covered: WorldWhat can I do with this layer?This layer represents the most frequently updated and most detailed global remotely sensed wildfire information. Detection attributes include time, location, and intensity. It can be used to track the location of fires from the recent past, a few hours up to seven days behind real time. This layer also shows the location of wildfire over the past 7 days as a time-enabled service so that the progress of fires over that timeframe can be reproduced as an animation.The VIIRS thermal activity layer can be used to visualize and assess wildfires worldwide. However, it should be noted that this dataset contains many “false positives” (e.g., oil/natural gas wells or volcanoes) since the satellite will detect any large thermal signal.Fire points in this service are generally available within 3 1/4 hours after detection by a VIIRS device. LANCE estimates availability at around 3 hours after detection, and esri livefeeds updates this feature layer every 15 minutes from LANCE.Even though these data display as point features, each point in fact represents a pixel that is >= 375 m high and wide. A point feature means somewhere in this pixel at least one "hot" spot was detected which may be a fire.VIIRS is a scanning radiometer device aboard the Suomi NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 satellites that collects imagery and radiometric measurements of the land, atmosphere, cryosphere, and oceans in several visible and infrared bands. The VIIRS Thermal Hotspots and Fire Activity layer is a livefeed from a subset of the overall VIIRS imagery, in particular from NASA's VNP14IMG_NRT active fire detection product. The downloads are automatically downloaded from LANCE, NASA's near real time data and imagery site, every 15 minutes.The 375-m data complements the 1-km Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Thermal Hotspots and Fire Activity layer; they both show good agreement in hotspot detection but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response over fires of relatively small areas and provides improved mapping of large fire perimeters.Attribute informationLatitude and Longitude: The center point location of the 375 m (approximately) pixel flagged as containing one or more fires/hotspots.Satellite: Whether the detection was picked up by the Suomi NPP satellite (N) or NOAA-20 satellite (1) or NOAA-21 satellite (2). For best results, use the virtual field WhichSatellite, redefined by an arcade expression, that gives the complete satellite name.Confidence: The detection confidence is a quality flag of the individual hotspot/active fire pixel. This value is based on a collection of intermediate algorithm quantities used in the detection process. It is intended to help users gauge the quality of individual hotspot/fire pixels. Confidence values are set to low, nominal and high. Low confidence daytime fire pixels are typically associated with areas of sun glint and lower relative temperature anomaly (<15K) in the mid-infrared channel I4. Nominal confidence pixels are those free of potential sun glint contamination during the day and marked by strong (>15K) temperature anomaly in either day or nighttime data. High confidence fire pixels are associated with day or nighttime saturated pixels.Please note: Low confidence nighttime pixels occur only over the geographic area extending from 11 deg E to 110 deg W and 7 deg N to 55 deg S. This area describes the region of influence of the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly which can cause spurious brightness temperatures in the mid-infrared channel I4 leading to potential false positive alarms. These have been removed from the NRT data distributed by FIRMS.FRP: Fire Radiative Power. Depicts the pixel-integrated fire radiative power in MW (MegaWatts). FRP provides information on the measured radiant heat output of detected fires. The amount of radiant heat energy liberated per unit time (the Fire Radiative Power) is thought to be related to the rate at which fuel is being consumed (Wooster et. al. (2005)).DayNight: D = Daytime fire, N = Nighttime fireHours Old: Derived field that provides age of record in hours between Acquisition date/time and latest update date/time. 0 = less than 1 hour ago, 1 = less than 2 hours ago, 2 = less than 3 hours ago, and so on.Additional information can be found on the NASA FIRMS site FAQ.Note about near real time data:Near real time data is not checked thoroughly before it's posted on LANCE or downloaded and posted to the Living Atlas. NASA's goal is to get vital fire information to its customers within three hours of observation time. However, the data is screened by a confidence algorithm which seeks to help users gauge the quality of individual hotspot/fire points. Low confidence daytime fire pixels are typically associated with areas of sun glint and lower relative temperature anomaly (<15K) in the mid-infrared channel I4. Medium confidence pixels are those free of potential sun glint contamination during the day and marked by strong (>15K) temperature anomaly in either day or nighttime data. High confidence fire pixels are associated with day or nighttime saturated pixels.RevisionsMarch 7, 2024: Updated to include source data from NOAA-21 Satellite.September 15, 2022: Updated to include 'Hours_Old' field.

Historic Fire Perimeter Dataset Feedback (arcgis.com)

Current criteria for data collection are as follows:

CAL FIRE (including contract counties) submit perimeters ≥10 acres in timber, ≥50 acres in brush, or ≥300 acres in grass, and/or ≥3 impacted residential or commercial structures, and/or caused ≥1 fatality.

All cooperating agencies submit perimeters ≥10 acres.

Version update:

Firep24_1 was released in April 2025. Five hundred forty-eight fires from the 2024 fire season were added to the database (2 from BIA, 56 from BLM, 197 from CAL FIRE, 193 from Contract Counties, 27 from LRA, 8 from NPS, 55 from USFS and 8 from USFW). Six perimeters were added from the 2025 fire season (as a special case due to an unusual January fire siege). Five duplicate fires were removed, and the 2023 Sage was replaced with a more accurate perimeter. There were 900 perimeters that received updated attribution (705 removed “FIRE” from the end of Fire Name field and 148 replaced Complex IRWIN ID with Complex local incident number for COMPLEX_ID field). The following fires were identified as meeting our collection criteria but are not included in this version and will hopefully be added in a future update: Addie (2024-CACND-002119), Alpaugh (2024-CACND-001715), South (2024-CATIA-001375). One perimeter is missing containment date that will be updated in the next release.

Cross checking CALFIRS reporting for new CAL FIRE submissions to ensure accuracy with cause class was added to the compilation process. The cause class domain description for “Powerline” was updated to “Electrical Power” to be more inclusive of cause reports.

Includes separate layers filtered by criteria as follows:

California Fire Perimeters (All): Unfiltered. The entire collection of wildfire perimeters in the database. It is scale dependent and starts displaying at the country level scale.

Recent Large Fire Perimeters (≥5000 acres): Filtered for wildfires greater or equal to 5,000 acres for the last 5 years of fires (2020-January 2025), symbolized with color by year and is scale dependent and starts displaying at the country level scale. Year-only labels for recent large fires.

California Fire Perimeters (1950+): Filtered for wildfires that started in 1950-January 2025. Symbolized by decade, and display starting at country level scale.

Version InformationThe data is updated annually with fire perimeters from the previous calendar year.Firep23_1 was released in May 2024. Two hundred eighty four fires from the 2023 fire season were added to the database (21 from BLM, 102 from CAL FIRE, 72 from Contract Counties, 19 from LRA, 9 from NPS, 57 from USFS and 4 from USFW). The 2020 Cottonwood fire, 2021 Lone Rock and Union fires, as well as the 2022 Lost Lake fire were added. USFW submitted a higher accuracy perimeter to replace the 2022 River perimeter. A duplicate 2020 Erbes fire was removed. Additionally, 48 perimeters were digitized from an historical map included in a publication from Weeks, d. et al. The Utilization of El Dorado County Land. May 1934, Bulletin 572. University of California, Berkeley. There were 2,132 perimeters that received updated attribution, the bulk of which had IRWIN IDs added. The following fires were identified as meeting our collection criteria, but are not included in this version and will hopefully be added in the next update: Big Hill #2 (2023-CAHIA-001020). YEAR_ field changed to a short integer type. San Diego CAL FIRE UNIT_ID changed to SDU (the former code MVU is maintained in the UNIT_ID domains). COMPLEX_INCNUM renamed to COMPLEX_ID and is in process of transitioning from local incident number to the complex IRWIN ID. Perimeters managed in a complex in 2023 are added with the complex IRWIN ID. Those previously added will transition to complex IRWIN IDs in a future update.If you would like a full briefing on these adjustments, please contact the data steward, Kim Wallin (kimberly.wallin@fire.ca.gov), CAL FIRE FRAP._CAL FIRE (including contract counties), USDA Forest Service Region 5, USDI Bureau of Land Management & National Park Service, and other agencies jointly maintain a fire perimeter GIS layer for public and private lands throughout the state. The data covers fires back to 1878. Current criteria for data collection are as follows:CAL FIRE (including contract counties) submit perimeters ≥10 acres in timber, ≥50 acres in brush, or ≥300 acres in grass, and/or ≥3 damaged/ destroyed residential or commercial structures, and/or caused ≥1 fatality.All cooperating agencies submit perimeters ≥10 acres._Discrepancies between wildfire perimeter data and CAL FIRE Redbook Large Damaging FiresLarge Damaging fires in California were first defined by the CAL FIRE Redbook, and has changed over time, and differs from the definition initially used to define wildfires required to be submitted for the initial compilation of this digital fire perimeter data. In contrast, the definition of fires whose perimeter should be collected has changed once in the approximately 30 years the data has been in existence. Below are descriptions of changes in data collection criteria used when compiling these two datasets. To facilitate comparison, this metadata includes a summary, by year, of fires in the Redbook, that do not appear in this fire perimeter dataset. It is followed by an enumeration of each “Redbook” fire missing from the spatial data.
