Glacier National Park Historic Fire Ignition Point Data
Hansen K. 2005. Glacier National Park Historic Fire Ignition Point Data. National Park Service, Fire Program Analysis
This dataset contains ignition points for fires in Glacier National Park for all years in recorded history and for all fire types. A subset of the data contained in this shapefile was validated by the FPA (Fire Program Analysis) data assembly team on May 28, 2005: years 1980 to 2003, and fire types 11-14 (suppressions), 15/16 (mutual aids), 21 (natural outs), and 48/49 (prescribed fires). This validation process included correcting the spatial location of fire ignition points, and validated points are noted in the attribute table. The tabular data used to create this shapefile was downloaded from the SACS (Shared Application Computer System) database on April 5, 2005.
