dataset: OBSERVATION_AREA
This dataset is created by sketching in the current burnt area from field data and linescan data. This data is updated every time the area of the fire is updated during an incident.The area is captured in the incident mapping system eMap.The final fire shape is then combined with the planned burn area data to create the FIRE_HISTORY dataset. This data includes both FFMVIC and CFA fires. . The layer will support fire prevention and suppression activities of DSE, and will be used to generate the FIRE100_{year} fire history datasets. This layer is the source of disturbance datasets used in the analysis of old-growth forest.
