Fire History (polygons)

This standard provides the standard template for storage of Fire History polygons representing final mapped wildland fire perimeters.

NWCG data layer standards provide a specification that enables the common usage of data across wildland fire information systems. This data standard consists of the following:

• Data layer meta-data definition – the rules needed to ensure the data layer format and data usage are standardized across automated systems. (Last updated: 02/2006) [47K, PDF]
• Change process – the procedures describing how to make changes to the data layer meta-data definition or the standard data values. (Last updated: 02/2006) [117K, PDF]
