Resource Abstract:
- Fire occurrence database 4th edition represents occurrence of wildfires in the United States from 1992 to 2015. This is the
third update of a publication originally generated to support the national Fire Program Analysis (FPA) system. The wildfire
records were acquired from the reporting systems of federal, state, and local fire organizations. The following core data
elements were required for records to be included in this data publication: discovery date, final fire size, and a point location
at least as precise as Public Land Survey System (PLSS) section (1-square mile grid). The data were transformed to conform,
when possible, to the data standards of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG). Basic error-checking was performed
and redundant records were identified and removed, to the degree possible. The resulting product, referred to as the Fire
Program Analysis fire-occurrence database (FPA FOD), includes 1.88 million geo-referenced wildfire records, representing a
total of 140 million acres burned during the 24-year period.<a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/rds/archive/products/RDS-2013-0009.4/_metadata_RDS-2013-0009.4.html"
