These data represent prevalence (i.e., relative abundance and proximity) of volatile fuel types (primarily conifers) capable of producing embers that could start fires. Water/ice pixels from the original input landcover raster are retained in volatile fuel prevalence rasters. The intent of the water/ice "patch" is to make the dataset easier for users to interpret these data and to distinguish areas unlikely to burn (e.g., sparse vegetation) from those that will not burn (e.g., water).
These data are an additional tool to use in risk assessments. Short Range Spotting data are useful for planning targeted fuel treatments. They do not replace models that simulate fire movement and behavior. |

These data represent prevalence (i.e., relative abundance and proximity) of volatile fuel types (primarily conifers) capable of producing embers that could start fires. Water/ice pixels from the original input landcover raster are retained in volatile fuel prevalence rasters. The intent of the water/ice "patch" is to make the dataset easier for users to interpret these data and to distinguish areas unlikely to burn (e.g., sparse vegetation) from those that will not burn (e.g., water).
These data are an additional tool to use in risk assessments. Short Range Spotting data are useful for planning targeted fuel treatments. They do not replace models that simulate fire movement and behavior.
Prevalence values fall into 6 categories:
1 = Very Low prevalence of hazardous/highly flammable vegetation in the surrounding area
2 = Low prevalence of hazardous/highly flammable vegetation in the surrounding area
3 = Moderate prevalence of hazardous/highly flammable vegetation in the surrounding area.
4 = High prevalence of hazardous/highly flammable vegetation in the surrounding area.
5 = Maximum (surrounded) prevalence of hazardous/highly flammable vegetation in the surrounding area.
10 = Identifies water/ice, derived from in the original landcover dataset. |
