Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity Interactive Viewer: by Web Editor — published Jul 02, 2020 — filed under: Wildland Fire, National Fire Mapping, Fire Mapping, Online Tool
The MTBS program was established to provide a consistent methodology to assess and document the effects of fire at a national scale. Since the program’s inception in 2005, MTBS mapping methods have evolved to accommodate changes and advancements in technology, software, satellite data and the availability of reliable fire occurrence data. It is anticipated these methods will continue to evolve into the future, however, the MTBS mapping approach has consistently occurred in five primary steps: 1. Fire Occurrence Data Compilation; 2. Landsat Scene Selection and Image Pre-processing; 3. Perimeter Delineation; 4. Burn Severity Interpretation; and 5. Data Distribution.

Western Fire Chiefs Association (WFCA) Fire Map: by Rhishja Cota — published Nov 02, 2022 — last modified Nov 08, 2022 12:22 PM — filed under: Wildland Fire, Fire Mapping, Remote Sensing, Products, Research
The WFCA Fire Map pulls data from the US Forest Service via National Interagency Fire Center IRWIN feed, and 911 Dispatch data via PulsePoint to track the location of the wildﬁre as they start and while they’re burning. The WFCA Fire Map is the ﬁrst map of its kind to pull such data from 911 Dispatch in relevant areas.
