DescriptionThe National USFS Fire Occurrence Point dataset captures ignition points or origins of wildland fires on National Forest System Lands, or areas where the US Forest Service (USFS) has protection responsibility. The dataset is maintained at the Forest/District level to track and analyze fire occurrence and origin. It includes historical fire data, although some records may be incomplete.
This data is crucial for land management and is used by fire and aviation staff, land planners, resource specialists, and land managers. It helps identify historical fire locations, contributing to planning and mitigation strategies for future wildland fires. The attributes in this dataset align with the 2021 National GIS Data Dictionary Standards and support interagency data exchange, fire perimeter analysis, and tracking of fire occurrences.
Key Features:
Ignition Points: Geographic locations of wildland fire origins. Historical Data: Records of past fire events, aiding in land management efforts. Interagency Compatibility: Attributes support data exchange and integration with various fire data systems. Forest and District-Level Maintenance: Ensures local-level accuracy and detail.This dataset is vital for understanding the historical patterns of wildland fires and enhancing future wildfire prevention and response efforts. For metadata and downloads, refer to the latest update as of January 1, 2025.

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.
