U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fire Atlas- Fire Occurrence dataset for 1983-2014
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) requests burn severity assessments through an agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to be completed by analysts with the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) Program. These data products are burned area boundary shapefiles derived from post-fire sensor data (including Landsat TM, Landsat ETM+, Landsat OLI). The pre-fire and post-fire subsets included were used to create Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) and then a differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) image. The objective of this assessment was to generate burned area boundaries for each fire. Data bundles also include post fire subset, pre-fire subset, NBR, and dNBR images. This map layer is a vector Fire Occurrence dataset which contains point locations of all currently inventoried fires occurring between calendar year 1983 and 2014. Fires omitted from this mapped inventory are those where suitable satellite imagery was not available, or fires which were not discernable from available imagery.
