Our prescribed fire data is now publicly available outside of Watch Duty through Esri's ArcGIS Online, providing valuable information to the public, fire services, and the research community.

By making this data openly accessible, we hope to support efforts to normalize prescribed fire as a critical tool for land management and wildfire prevention. This initiative will also help reduce false alarms and unnecessary dispatches, allowing emergency services to focus on real threats.Additionally, researchers and scientists can now use this data for a wide range of applications, from improving air quality models to training AI for wildfire detection and enhancing fire behavior predictions.This is an important leap forward in improving wildfire awareness, response, and prevention. Explore the dataset and see how it can support a safer, more informed future: https://watchduty.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1784011a31104a45a584b26dbd23adfe
