    Description

    This map contains live feed sources for US wildfire reports (I-209), perimeters, MODIS hot spots, wildfire conditions / red flag warnings, wildfire potential and weather radar. Each of these layers provides insight into where a fire is located, its intensity and the surrounding areas susceptibility to wildfire.

    Find out more about the Esri Disaster Response Program: www.esri.com/disaster

    About the Data :


    CAL FIRE Locations and Perimeters: Since CAL FIRE does not always send daily updates to the USGS GeoMAC we are utilizing their KML feed to keep this map up to date. Please note - these can conflict with information from the USGS Wildfire Activity feed below.


    Wildfire Activity: This displays large active fire incidents and situation reports that have been entered into the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) database by local emergency response teams. The Active Fire Perimeters layer is a product of Geospatial Multi-Agency Coordination (GeoMAC). Wildland fire perimeter data provided by the GeoMAC site are derived from data produced by GIS specialists working on each incident. Perimeter data displayed in and delivered by the GeoMAC application are not the final or official perimeters for any incident and are provided for informational purposes only. The final official perimeter should be obtained from the host unit, which can be determined by looking at the Unit Id for any specific fire. The host unit is responsible for producing official and final perimeters for all incidents in their jurisdiction. Data source: USGS Rocky Mountain Geographic Science Center Outgoing Data Sets, also see GeoMAC metadata for more information.


    Hot Spot: The MODIS thermal layer is created from the MODIS satellite detection system and represents hot spots that could be potential fire locations in the last 24 hour period at a horizontal resolution of 1 km and temporal resolution of 1 to 2 days. For information see our explanation in the description here. Data source: NASA EOSDIS website

    Wind Data (NOAA METAR): Typical METAR contains data for the temperature, dew point, wind speed and direction, precipitation, cloud cover and heights, visibility, and barometric pressure. A METAR may also contain information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and other information.

    Wildfire Potential: This is a raster geospatial product produced by the USDA Forest Service, Fire Modeling Institute, intended to be used in analyses of wildfire risk or hazardous fuels prioritization at large landscapes (100s of square miles) up through regional or national scales.

    Description
    SDI (Rodriguez y Silva et al. 2020) factors in topography, fuels, expected fire behavior under prevailing conditions, fireline production rates in various fuel types with and without heavy equipment, and access via roads, trails, or cross-country travel.

    SDI is currently classified into six categories representing low through extreme difficulty. Extreme SDI zones represented in red are “watch out” situations where engagement is likely to be very challenging given the combination of potential high intensity fire behavior and difficult suppression environment (high resistance fuel types, steep terrain, and low accessibility). Low difficulty zones represented in blue indicate areas where some combination of reduced potential for dangerous fire behavior and ideal suppression environment (low resistance fuel types, mellow terrain, and high accessibility) make suppression activities easier. SDI does not account for standing snags or other overhead hazards to firefighters, so it is not a firefighter hazard map. It is only showing in relative terms where it is harder or easier to perform suppression work.

    SDI incorporates flame length and heat per unit area from basic FlamMap runs (Finney et al. 2019). SDI is based on fire behavior modeled using regionally appropriate percentile fuel moisture conditions and uphill winds. This product uses the wind blowing uphill option to represent a consistent worst-case scenario. Input fuels data are updated to the most recent fire year using a crosswalk for surface and canopy fuel modifications for fires and fuel treatments that occurred after the most recent LANDFIRE version. For example, LANDFIRE 2016 model inputs are modified to incorporate fires (Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS), Geospatial Multi- Agency Coordination (GeoMac), and Wildland Fire Interagency Geospatial Services (WFIGS) and fuel treatments (USFS Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS) and DOI National Fire Plan Operations and Reporting System (NFPORS) hazardous fuels reduction treatments) from 2017-present. Road and trail inputs are developed from a combination of HERE 2020 Roads, USFS, and DOI road and trails databases. Hand crew and dozer fireline production rates are from FPA 2012 (Dillon et al. 2015). Classification of topography and accessibility thresholds are detailed in Rodriguez et al. (2020).

    Description

    Wildfire Suppression Difficulty Index (SDI) 90th Percentile is a rating of relative difficulty in performing fire control work under regionally appropriate fuel moisture and 15 mph uphill winds (@ 20 ft).SDI (Rodriguez y Silva et al. 2020) factors in topography, fuels, expected fire behavior under prevailing conditions, fireline production rates in various fuel types with and without heavy equipment, and access via roads, trails, or cross-country travel. SDI is currently classified into six categories representing low through extreme difficulty. Extreme SDI zones represented in red are “watch out” situations where engagement is likely to be very challenging given the combination of potential high intensity fire behavior and difficult suppression environment (high resistance fuel types, steep terrain, and low accessibility). Low difficulty zones represented in blue indicate areas where some combination of reduced potential for dangerous fire behavior and ideal suppression environment (low resistance fuel types, mellow terrain, and high accessibility) make suppression activities easier. SDI does not account for standing snags or other overhead hazards to firefighters, so it is not a firefighter hazard map. It is only showing in relative terms where it is harder or easier to perform suppression work. SDI incorporates flame length and heat per unit area from basic FlamMap runs (Finney et al. 2019). SDI is based on fire behavior modeled using regionally appropriate percentile fuel moisture conditions and uphill winds. This product uses the wind blowing uphill option to represent a consistent worst-case scenario. Input fuels data are updated to the most recent fire year using a crosswalk for surface and canopy fuel modifications for fires and fuel treatments that occurred after the most recent LANDFIRE version. For example, LANDFIRE 2016 model inputs are modified to incorporate fires (Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS), Geospatial Multi- Agency Coordination (GeoMac), and Wildland Fire Interagency Geospatial Services (WFIGS) and fuel treatments (USFS Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS) and DOI National Fire Plan Operations and Reporting System (NFPORS) hazardous fuels reduction treatments) from 2017-present. Road and trail inputs are developed from a combination of HERE 2020 Roads, USFS, and DOI road and trails databases. Hand crew and dozer fireline production rates are from FPA 2012 (Dillon et al. 2015). Classification of topography and accessibility thresholds are detailed in Rodriguez et al. (2020).

    Description

    Wildfire Suppression Difficulty Index (SDI) 90th Percentile is a rating of relative difficulty in performing fire control work under regionally appropriate fuel moisture and 15 mph uphill winds (@ 20 ft).

    Description

    This dataset represents the historical fire perimeters within individual local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds based on the GeoMAC (Geospatial Multi-Agency Coordination) mapping tool. Fire perimeters contain data as they are submitted by field offices to GeoMAC (Geospatial Multi-Agency Coordination) in a polygon format. Fire perimeter data is based on input from incident intelligence sources, GPS data, infrared (IR) imagery from fixed wing and satellite platforms. Polygons are selected by year and then converted into a binary raster format where values of 1 represent fire perimeters of the given year and 0 describes the remaining areas across the CONUS, leaving No Data to be anything outside the CONUS border. The wildland fire characteristics (% forest loss to fire) were summarized by year to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a continuous data type.
