Q. With the release of the new LF Viewer, where did the LANDFIRE Data Access Tool (LFDAT) go?

LFDAT, ArcGRID, and Non-ESRI scripting (data access ESRI tools and formats) are being archived, starting April 2022.

If a user has the LFDAT client server tool on their system, users can continue using the tool; however, users will not be able to get new data and LANDFIRE will no longer support the tool.

Many of the LFDAT capabilities will be offered on LANDFIRE's new viewer (https://landfire.gov/viewer) and on the LANDFIRE Product Service (https://lfps.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/LandfireProductService/GPServer).

The new viewer modernized the current map viewer to facilitate larger downloads, as well as:

Refine the user interface to account for more versions of the product suite
Migrate from ESRI to consistent interfaces using open-source solutions
Improve data download/distribution tools to provide more capabilities to a diverse user community
Replace LFDAT application capabilities with web-based services & tools
Modernize data formats with increased capabilities
