Resource Type

Dataset  

Purpose

Scheduling of fuel reduction and ecological burning is carried out through rolling three-year Fire Operations Plans. This dataset represents the spatial extent of prescribed burns planned for ignition on Public Land in Victoria for a three year period. Each three year period is prepared annually and included on a Fire Operations Plan.

Supplemental Information

Relationship to other Datasets: When burn operations are conducted the spatial extent of the area burnt will be recorded in the FIRE100 and LASTBURNT100 datasets. These layers represent the spatial extent of both Prescribed Burns and Wildfires. Current Design Issues: The current layer design complements the comprehensive Burn & Works database in the integrated Fire Information System accessible via FireWeb. The EventID attributes allows the two databases to join Future Design Issues: The current design represents the current three year period. Future annual plans may be integrated into a single dataset.
