Interagency Spatial Fire Planning
Release Date
Spatial Fire Planning provides an intuitive and robust method of developing, storing, and delivering Land, Resource and Fire Management plan direction in a spatial platform. The visual depiction of these data allows for greater data control because data managers can upload, manage, and associate shapes to represent their unit’s planning direction, and make changes as needed throughout the year. Spatial Fire Planning data is used in the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) to provide direction and intent for strategic planning and decision-making.
