Bushfire Incident Areas for the current fire season all statuses.

dataset: SEASON FIRE AREAS
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. This data includes both FFMVIC and CFA fires. This data is provided in kml format. The data is only available for the current fire season and shows all fires with a status of Going, controlled or contained (UC1 and UC2) and Safe are included in this feed. . 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.

Description

Title
Bushfire Incident Areas for the current fire season all statuses. 
Alternate title
SEASON FIRE AREAS 
Purpose
For EM-LINK access This is the current fire area data created from field data and linescan information. It is only for the current fire season. It is updated on emap and is continually updated as fire shapes are edited and created.This data is used in operational response and is provided as a feature service for national feeds. It shows all fires that have aoccured this season with their final extent or the most current extent if the fire is still active. 
Supplemental Information
Relationship to other Datasets: Contributing dataset to Fire_history suite of datasets Current Design Issues: Based on linescan interpretations, field data collected through eMap field and other sources of aerial information gathering. Related Documents: None
