Service Description:

Abstract: Wildland fires, commonly called wildfires, originate from many sources and can have a wide range of impacts. 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 Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity program (MTBS). 

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 IRWIN, MTBS has been able to integrate their database of fires into its products. IRWIN data will be replaced by NIFC in subsequent versions of the data.
