The Intterra's IRWIN Active Incidents Layer has been updated with new falloff rules and addition of prescribed fires to better align with national layers. An annoying bug causing multiple duplicate fires was squashed as well.
NOTE: As an IRWIN Partner, Intterra is able to provide an agency version of this layer with enhanced information that is not available on public layers.
Updated Rules
This service contains all wildland fire incidents from the IRWIN (Integrated Reporting of Wildland Fire Information) integration service that meet the following criteria:
- Categorized in IRWIN as a Wildfire (WF), Prescribed Fire (RX), or Incident Complex (CX) record
- Has not been declared contained, controlled, nor out.
- NOTE: Based on a date value in ContainmentDateTime, FireOutDateTime, or ControlDateTime - NOT Percent Contained as in EGP.
- Has not had fire report record completed (certified)
- Is Valid and not "quarantined" in IRWIN due to potential conflicts with other records
- Fire size is less than 10 acres (Size Class A or B), and fire information has not been updated in more than 3 days
- Fire size is between 10 and 100 acres (Size Class C), and fire information hasn't been updated in more than 8 days
- Fire size is larger than 100 acres (Size Class D-L), but fire information hasn't been updated in more than 14 days.
Fire size used in the fall off rules is from the IncidentSize field. Fire information last update is determined by the ModifiedOnDateTime_dt field.
NOTE: The Intterra Briefing Tool will use the updated information.
Frequently asked questions
- How often is the data updated? Incidents are refreshed every 5 minutes and resources every 10 minutes.
- Why are there more incidents showing in Intterra that the EGP? The national layers use PercentContained = 100% to remove them as 'active'. Intterra is showing these fires as long as there is no contain, control, or out date/time stamp.
