Response Description
Response Element | Description |
---|---|
state.code | Two letter state abbreviation. |
state.fips | Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) numerical state code. |
fireShed.id | Numeric fireshed value. Firesheds divide landscape into landscape based units that exhibit the same vegetation, slope and resultant fire behavior. |
fireShed.risk.description | Description of risk category. Note: Valid if risk type is Interface, Intermix &
Wildland. |
fireShed.risk.tier | Specifies the type of threat present in this area.
Note: Valid if risk type is Interface. |
fireShed.risk.tierDescription | Description of risk tier. Note: Valid if risk type is Interface. |
fireShed.risk.frequency |
Specifies the likelihood of future wildfires based on their occurrence in the area in the past. Frequency uses a simulation-focused approach to determine future probability. A fire can be simulated on the landscape based on topography, weather and fuel. This represents what is likely to happen on the landscape as it exists now using existing topography, weather and fuel types.
Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix.
|
fireShed.risk.pastFires |
Past fires represent likelihood of how often a fire will occur in
a given area. This data is returned at a much coarser scale
utilizing empirical data, of where fires are more or less likely
to occur based on where they have occurred in the past. This
returns finer scale information than frequency and uses a
simulation-based approach.
Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix.
|
fireShed.risk.severity | Specifies how severe fire behavior would be in the event of an ignition. It includes
topography (slope, aspect and elevation), prevailing weather
patterns in the area (based on weather stations located nation-wide)
and the fuel type present (40 different subsets of grass, shrub and
timber vegetation types). It also includes an evaluation of the
potential for crown fire in each fireshed. This determines in the
determination of how prevalent fire embers may be.
Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix and
Wildland. |
fireShed.risk.continuity |
Refers to the effect related to the continuity of burnable area
(roads, bare ground rock outcrops etc.) which may reduce
wildlife severity. Greatest mitigating effect (Low) to least
aggravating effect (High).
Note: Valid if risk type is
Intermix. |
fireShed.risk.adjustment | Refers Intermix risk adjustment due to weighted effect of aspect, crownfire, evc,
foehn, golfcourse, roaddist, slope and waterdist values.
Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix. |
fireShed.risk.aspect |
Refers to the moisture drying effect relative to sun and topological slope. The facing of a slope can influence how wet or dry it is by the timing of when the sun will hit it at different time of the day. For example, slopes facing the afternoon sun will dry out sooner on a daily basis and will be free of snow for more of the year. In Northern hemisphere, South-facing slopes will typically be more dry than North-facing slopes. this can have a large impact on the density of fuel and how severe the fire behavior will likely be in the event of a wildfire. Greatest mitigating effect (Low) to greatest aggravating effect (High). Note: Valid if the risk type is Intermix.
|
fireShed.risk.crownFire |
Refers to the crown fire effect, whether in the form of isolated trees or clumps of trees or the complete involvement of the canopy, represents a worst-case scenario in terms of fire behavior. A forest that is prone to crown fire will be a far greater danger in terms of structure loss than one that will typically burn as a surface fire. Least aggravating effect (Low) to greatest aggravating effect (High). Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix.
|
fireShed.risk.vegetation | Specifies existing vegetation cover, a measure of the continuity of fuel, is important
beaus fire will, all other things being equal, burn with more
severity and speed through a continuous fuel bed than if interrupted
by the patches of bare ground. Greatest mitigating effect (Low) to
least aggravating effect (High). Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix. |
fireShed.risk.foehn | Specifies areas that are subject to strong, relatively dry and warm winds that can
increase fire-behavior and therefore, risk. Examples include
Chinooks of the rocky mountains and Santa Anas of Southern
California. Least aggravating effect (Low) to greatest aggravating
effect (High). Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix. |
fireShed.risk.golfCourse | Specifies essentially irrigated fuel breaks but structures located on a golf course
can still be threatened by embers and flames from adjacent fuel.
Greatest mitigating effect (Low) to least aggravating effect (High). Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix. |
fireShed.risk.roadDist | Specifies distance to the nearest important (evacuation/fire suppression access) road.
Greatest mitigating effect (Low) to greatest aggravating effect (High). Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix. |
fireShed.risk.slope |
Refers to slope fire suppression effect. Greatest mitigating effect (Low) to greatest aggravating effect (High). Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix.
|
fireShed.risk.waterDist |
Refers to a non-hydrant water source closer to a given area that will make suppression operations more effective. Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix.
|
fireShed.risk.distanceToFireStation |
Refers to the distance to the nearest fire station to reflect probability of a successful wildfire suppression or structure protection effort.
Note: Valid if risk type is Wildfire.
|
fireShed.risk.nonburn | Specifies effect related to the continuity of burnable area (roads, bare ground, rock,
outcrops etc) which may reduce wildfire severity. Least mitigating
(Low) to greatest mitigating (High). Note: Valid if risk type is Wildland. |
