The Northwest Coordination Center - NWCC is continuing to pull together fire information during incidents for fire season 2010 to provide decision support to the Multi Agency Coordination Group MAC, Operations, Intell, and Public Affairs Departments. This information will also be made available to our National Fire Information partners such as NIFC and GEOMAC. A link to the daily data will be provided at ftp://ftp.nifc.gov/Incident_Specific_Data/PACIFIC_NW/!NWCC_INFO/DAILY_FIRE_DATA/.
Each day NWCC will provide a compiled .shp file and .kml file.
At the FTP site ftp.nifc.gov a folder under ftp://ftp.nifc.gov/Incident_Specific_Data/PACIFIC_NW/ has been created to place all incident information within Oregon and Washington States. Under ftp://ftp.nifc.gov/Incident_Specific_Data/PACIFIC_NW/ please create a folder with your incident name 2010_FireName to deposit perimeters, graphics, maps, etc. related to your incident. An example of the preferred directory structure has been posted on the site: preferred directory structure has been posted on the site:
ftp://ftp.nifc.gov/Incident_Specific_Data/PACIFIC_NW/FIRE_DIRECTORY_EXAMPLE/
To use this example without having to recreate it, simply copy it to your local directory and change the name to your incident and repost to the ftp site.
A password is necessary to post information, but one is not needed to download data from the site.
PLEASE CALL NWCC – GIS @ 503-808-2741 TO OBTAIN YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD TO GAIN ACCESS TO FTP.NIFC.GOV
