Collecting consistent information on when a fire starts, the cause, and how large of an area they impact can be difficult as many different agencies (local, state, federal) are involved in responding. This was especially true before coordinated multi-agency efforts were established in the late 2000s. In an effort to create a temporally consistent analysis of wildland fires in the USA, the US Geological Survey and Forest Service have teamed up to create the <a target='_blank' href='https://www.mtbs.gov/project-overview' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Monitoring Trends in Burn Severit</a>y program (MTBS). </p><div>Using Landsat's 40+ year archive of satellite observations of burn scars, MTBS is able to consistently assess and document the effects of fire at a national scale. With the establishment of <a target='_blank' href='https://forestsandrangelands.gov/WFIT/applications/IRWIN/index.shtml' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>IRWIN</a>, MTBS has been able to integrate their database of fires into its products. IRWIN data will be replaced by <a target='_blank' href='https://www.nifc.gov/' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>NIFC </a>in subsequent versions of the data. </div><div> </div><div><strong>Fire Type definitions</strong></div><div><ul><li><i><span style='box-sizing:border-box;'>Wildfire</span></i> - An unplanned, unwanted wildland fire including unauthorized human-caused fires, escaped wildland fire use events, escaped prescribed fire projects, and all other wildland fires where the objective is to put the fire out (definition currently under NWCG review).</li><li><i><span style='box-sizing:border-box;'>Prescribed Fire</span></i> - Any fire intentionally ignited by management actions in accordance with applicable laws, policies, and regulations to meet specific objectives.</li><li><i><span style='box-sizing:border-box;'>Wildland Fire Use</span></i> - An event dealing with the management of a naturally ignited wildland fire to accomplish specific prestated resource management objectives in predefined geographic areas outlined in the Fire Management Plans.</li><li><i><span style='box-sizing:border-box;'>Unknown</span></i> - A fire event whose incident type was not reported from the original reporting agency.</li><li><i><span style='box-sizing:border-box;'>Complex</span></i> - Two or more individual incidents located in the same general area which are assigned to a single incident commander or unified command.</li><li><i><span style='box-sizing:border-box;'>Out of Area Response</span></i> - Multiple resource response to a wildfire incident.
