- Abstract:
- The polygon feature dataset is part the Region 1 Fire History
Geodatabase of wildfire perimeters. The feature class is populated with
year 1985-2005 polygons representing fire perimeters. These perimeters are
of fires 10 acres and greater. Fires less than 10 acres are still
available in point form in the point feature class of this data set. As
more forests provide perimeter data, it will be add to the Region 1 Fire
History Geodatabase. A field for joining the polygon feature class and
point feature class of this dataset is labeled Yr_Reg_For_SOnum, which
contains Year : Region# : Forest# : SO Fire #. Most of the discrepancies
found between the polygon and point feature classes can be fixed as more
data is provided by the forests through polygon/point data, local
knowledge, and constructive criticism. A few prescribed burns and fire use
fires have been identified in the TYPE field of the polygon feature class
and the PRESCRIBED field of the point feature class.
- Purpose:
- This data set is designed to provide analytical data regarding fire
history.

- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
- The Cohesive Strategy Team's fire history perimeter data, which
ranges from 1985 through 2001, is used as the preliminary data to
populate the feature class structure.
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
- As Region 1 Forests make available their fire history perimeter data
it is loaded into the feature class with the predefined structure. The
Cohesive Strategy Team's perimeter data that is overlapped by the new
data is removed. Cohesive Strategy Team perimeter data is removed
because it lacks many fields of useful information that the Forests tend
to provide.
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
- Data for the Yr_Reg_For_SOnum field is assigned by comparing the
name, acreage, proximity of perimeter to point, and best guess. Not all
polygons have a value for the Yr_Reg_For_SOnum field due to lack of
sufficient data such as; fire name, reported acres, missing
polygon/points, and or insufficient spatial data collection in the
field.
