Free and open data; Raw data on SharePoint. The fire history dataset is a historical record of mapped bushfires that have occurred throughout Tasmania. It forms a critical input into the evaluation of bushfire risk and potential throughout the state. Analysis of past fires assists authorities during prevention, mitigation and suppression of bushfires. The fire history dataset is comprised of two feature classes: 'Fire History' and 'Fire History - Last Impacted'. The fire history records from individual agencies are appended each year into the 'Fire History' feature class. 'Fire History' is a cumulative history layer with overlapping areas where multiple fires have impacted a single region. The 'Fire History - Last Impacted' feature class is derived from 'Fire History' and identifies the latest fire having occurred at any location across the state. The 'Fire History - Last Impacted' feature class does not contain any overlaps. All Fires is complied from individual agency fire records. Records are validated against ES-GIS incident data where required. Data is primarily sourced from Tasmania Fire Service, Parks and Wildlife Service and Sustainable Timber Tasmania (formerly known as Forestry Tasmania). Data provided by other organisations, such as local councils and private land-holders, is included where available. For the period 2012-2018 analysis of satellite imagery has been undertaken by the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE) to provide additional coverage and verification of mapped fire boundaries. All individual agency bushfire records are integrated into a single dataset called 'Fire History' which contains all historical bushfire records. A combination of FME workbench models and manual editing tasks are required to maintain the Fire History and Last Impacted datasets.
