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.

Data_Quality_Information:
Lineage:
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.
