Purpose - (June 2017) This feature service has been created for the 2017 fire season. The service is based on the National Wildfire Coordination Group's data standard for Wildland Fire Events. These data standards and this feature service are designed to improve exchange of data on wildland fire incidents. These are layer schemas that you must host on your own (or work with a partnering agency to host) and are edtiable. They allow you or others to update the status and other attribute information and are editable. Your ArcGIS Online organizational account allows you to use an existing service to publish an empty feature layer. For more information see the NWCG GIS Specialist Training material.
