How to Interact with the Wildland Fire Trends Tool Perimeter Dashboard

Detailed Description

This dashboard displays summary data for portions of wildland fire perimeters (polygons) that occur within the selected filters. To display fire trends, it is recommended to filter out the smallest fires - those less than 1,000 acres. For large queries, please allow the tool a minute to process the request. Wildland Fire Polygons can be downloaded from https://doi.org/10.5066/P9Z2VVRT. See the Introduction page of the tool or http://www.usgs.gov/centers/forest-and-rangeland-ecosystem-science-center/science/wildland-fire-trends-tool for a full list of data sources. Change the dashboard view with the filters. Hover over data for more information in each visualization.
