Description: The "Non_RXFire_Legacy" data layer contains vegetation treatment project perimeters from multiple agencies with associated tabular data for responsible agency, contract number, project name, start date, and acres reported. Data provided are merged from sources of varying quality. This dataset is a sub-set of the 'rxburn' dataset compiled by CAL FIRE. This dataset is considered to be a legacy dataset of vegetation management projects and should not be assumed to be a full accounting of all such projects from contributing agencies. A great deal of user discretion is advised in the use of this dataaset. V13_2 Thirty-seven treatments (preparation, hand pile and machine pile) were moved out of the rxfire19_1 feature class and into this feature class.

Description: Version Information:The data is updated yearly with fire perimeters from the previous fire season.Fire19_1 was released April 30th, 2020. Three hundred twelve wildfires from the 2019 fire season were added to the database (4 from the NPS, 180 from CAL FIRE, 68 from USFS, 21 from BLM).________________________________________________________________CAL FIRE (including contract counties), USDA Forest Service Region 5, USDI Bureau of Land Managment & National Park Service, and other agencies jointly maintain a comprehensive fire perimeter GIS layer for public and private lands throughout the state. The data covers fires back to 1878. Detailed metadata is provided for each individual feature class. ________________________________________________________________________________Historic Update Information:Fire18_1 was released May 1st, 2019. 413 wildfires from the 2018 fire season were added to the database. There are two fires on BIA managed land that do not have 3 letter code identifiers and thus "Unit" was left blank. A hand drawn perimeter of the 1990 San Juan Canyon fire in BEU was submitted by a fire fighter who worked on the fire. The perimeter of the Thomas fire of 2017 was replaced this year by one collected by SBC that is based on someone walking some parts of the perimeter for better accuracy.Fire17_1 was released April 13th, 2018. 612 wildfires from the 2017 fire season were added to the database. Three USFS wildfires from previous years were also added (1 from 2014, and 2 from 2016). Attributes from 3 USFS wildfires were also corrected (Willow 2015, Gilman and Meadow 2016). Two new USFS Forest were added to the domain list of Units (Rogue River-Siskiyou NF & Fremont NF).The Barry Point Fire is now attributed to the Rogue River-Siskiyou, previoulsy it was attributed to other (as a unit). There are two fires for 2018 already in the database.Fire16_1 was released May 4nd, 2017. I 2014 VNC fire perimeter was replaced by a more accurate version. 3 new periemters from 2014 were added (VNC). A new periemter from 2013 added. 66 new perimeters from 2015 were added. 92 new periemters in Marin County, from 1917 to 1934 were added. They were hand drawn by the Marin County fire Chief Garber and digitized and submitted by NPS. 8 duplicate fire perimeters were deleted.Fire15_1 was released June 9th, 2016. The ALARM_DATE and CONT_DATE fields have been changed from STRING fields to DATE fields. In the many cases where only the year of a fire existed (ex. 19170000) the tool couldn't process the data and the entry is NULL. In those cases, the year can be found in the YEAR field.Fire14_1 was released in May, 2015. After release, the NPS supplied corretions for 14 wildfires and 67 prescribed burns. The corrected data was posted to FRAP's data download page as fire14_1 in late May. An effort was made to ensure multipart polygons were standardized throughout the dataset. Fire 14_2 was released in July, 2015 to reflect that changes had been made to the original release in late May. Version 14_1 from late May is an exact copy of version 14_2 released in July.

Description: The "rxburn" data layer contains perimeters from multiple agencies of various prescribed burns, with associated tabular data for responsible agency, contract number, project name, start date, and acres reported and more. Data provided are merged from sources of varying quality. There has been a significant amount of work to resolve duplicate prescribed fires (from different sources). This layer is a best attempt, does not include complete data for all agencies. Two of the attributes in this dataset, PRE_CON_CLASS and POST_CON_CLASS are based on an abstract concept called "Condition Class." There is more information about "Condition Class" in the Overview Description / Entity and Attribute Overview section. Those two attributes are not collected consistantly.V19_1 was released in april 29th, 2020 and includes 985 new rx burns from: CALFIRE (89), NPS (5), and BLM. The USFS submited 250 burns from 2018 and 581 from 2019. The date format was changed from YYYYMMDD to MMDDYYYY. Thirty-seven treatments (preparation, hand pile and machine pile) were moved out of this feature class and into the Non_RXFire_Legacy13_2 feature class.
