Description: This dataset is a compilation of data sources including EBRPD research by J. Kent and CAL FIRE FRAP data sources. EBRPD researched fires are likely from historic newspaper articles, fire lookout records, and similar sources. The exact source for each fire is unknown, but they are presumed to be extensively researched. The fires from the Burn_Area dataset were mapped via GPS or airphoto by EBRPD staff between 1995 and 2004, approximately. The schema of this combined dataset utilizes the CAL FIRE schema for "Incidents" or wildfires. Prescribed fires (from CAL FIRE FRAP) and EBRPD researched fires were appended to this schema, with a few fields added for clarity on sources. This dataset is inherently incomplete, some information may be inaccurate, and fire perimeters, particularly those sourced to EBRPD or older fires, are approximate. Not all fires in the East Bay are included in this dataset and care should be taken when conducting analysis or estimating acres. Fires include only those that overlap with Contra Costa or Alameda Counties. They are not clipped to the county boundary to maintain the entirety of fire perimeters.Complete list of data sources:Burn_AreaNOTE:
Data from the Y drive have been archived and are no longer at these locations. Fires from CAL FRAP will be added on a yearly basis.Data compiled by Maryrose Kulick, GIS Technician, October 2022
Copyright Text: CAL FIRE recognizes the various partners that have contributed to this dataset, including USDA Forest Service Region 5, USDI Bureau of Land Managment, National Park Service, National Fish and Wildlife Service, and numerous local agencies. EBRPD researched fires were developed by EBRPD staff around 2011.
