Wildfire History Map

Fire History Map

Since the whole state of California is regularly on fire, I wondered what sort of historical fire data existed and what things had been on fire when. A bit of searching led me to a few nice datasets[1] and I put togther this map. It covers a large swath of the wildfires for the last 100 years in both the USA and Candada and has a bunch of tools for looking at the data in different ways. In total, the map has data on almost 200 thousand fires.
