      DBCA Fire History (DBCA-060)

      The DBCA Fire History dataset is a dynamic dataset which contains a collection of records of fire events (prescribed burns and bushfire) which were captured on departmental-managed land, and where available non-department managed land in Western Australia. The earliest records available are from 1937. Some historic map sheets have been unattainable and thus the dataset is missing some data. This dataset contains information from completed projects including the Great Western Woodlands (GWW), Gnangara Sustainability Strategy (GSS) and remote sensing of Pilbara fire scars. The GWW project used remote sensing and Landsat to digitise fires with hotspot data for date verification from the years 1970 - 1990. The GSS project assessed the current fire history records in the DBCA Swan district by verifying fires and attribution from fire records, annual fire reports, historic maps, microfiche and Fire Support System extracts. A Pilbara regional request for more accurate fire shapes and higher resolution imagery used remote sensing and Landsat to capture the years from 1999 - 2011. The dataset also includes areas of clear-felled plantation and mining rehabilitation. Complete state coverage is available from 2006 to present day. This data set will generally be updated twice a year - around January and July. For further information please contact the data custodian.
