What to know before you request support:
- Fire name and location (lat/long or perimeter shapefile)

- Name and telephone number of contact person
- GIS projection desired for geospatial layers
- BEAR Team Leader Name
- Other special data needs (data formats, internet access constraints, etc.)

Typically, USFS – RSAC handles fires that burn on Forest Service lands while USGS – EROS handles all those that burn on Dept. of Interior lands (BLM, FWS, NPS, etc.). State and international fires are shared equally by both centers. You should expect the same service from either center, so if one is unavailable the other can provide the support you need.
The media and general public can obtain fire activity information on a specific fire from the InciWeb or by contacting the appropriate local federal, state, county, or tribal land management agency. |
