BigBearArlich	02/18/2023 11:17AM Wildfire data is managed by the interagency fire center - they have a pile of data, just need to dig through and find what youre looking for. Here is their base map page. https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/maps And here are some more specific links to datasets: https://data-nifc.opendata.arcgis.com/pages/new_firehistory_services
Bingo	02/18/2023 10:07AM Miksilly: "If you can do GIS data is available online 1984 -2018." Could you provide where? I do some work with GIS. I'm unaware of the source for this.

Speckled	02/17/2023 06:49PM Fires in the last 20 years are still very visable with google earth.

Prospector	08/18/2021 08:12AM I found this map at this website I'm curious about the historic fire shown in the Crab/Cummings area and posted about it the other day in the Listening Point section.
cyclones30	08/17/2021 10:00PM Here's some maps of 2 big recent ones https://www.weather.gov/dlh/Ham_Lake_Fire_of_2007 Pagami Creek also....even bigger https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/superior/home/?cid=stelprdb5341928 If you go to a different mapping site...they have these extents on their BWCA map so you can zoom in and pan around. PP is short version of it...usually can't get away with typing it here.
Dogpaddler	08/17/2021 09:39PM Does anyone know of any good resources / up to date info and maps on past fires in the BWCA? Looking specifically for information on the last 10-15 years. Have found a lot on 1900's but was really hoping for more up to date info. Thanks in advance!
