The LANDFIRE National team has completed mapping the western portion of the United States. Data products for these mapping zones are available on the USGS National Map LANDFIRE website. Mapping continues to progress across the country. The LANDFIRE team is currently mapping zones immediately east of the completed western portion along with the two mapping zones encompassing Florida as the next priority.
On December 18, 2006, a demonstration and press event was held in Washington, D.C. to highlight the LANDFIRE Project and mark the completion of LANDFIRE National’s western milestone. Interior Deputy Secretary Lynn Scarlett hosted this demonstration along with Dave Tenny, Agriculture Department Deputy Undersecretary for Natural Resources and Environment.
The demonstration addressed project status and provided examples of LANDFIRE data use in multiple natural resource applications, such as hazardous fuels reduction, wildlife management, and wildland fire support.
