Wildfire Risk Data Fields
| Field Name | Field Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pbkey | Char(17) | A unique identifier |
| fire_refid | Integer | Unique reference value for data records Note: RefId is not a static reference between product releases |
| fire_statecode | Char (2) | State abbreviation |

| fire_risktype | Char (2) | IF = Interface, IM = Intermix, WL = Wildland |
| fire_risk50 | Integer | Overall risk rating to reflect the predicted fire behavior and likelihood of
ignition. Scale: 0 = Low Risk, 49 = High Risk. Refer Risk Data Suite Product Guide for important details on how to use this value for different values of RISKTYPE (such as Interface versus Intermix and Wildland). The RISK50 rating should always be used in conjunction with the RISKTYPE to understand the specific hazard(s). |

RiskType Note: FireShedId is not a static reference between product releases |

wildfire suppression or structure protection effort Scale: 0 = Closer to Fire Station, 49 = Farther from Fire Station. Valid when RISKTYPE = IM |

which may reduce wildfire severity Scale: Greatest mitigating effect (Low) to greatest aggravating effect (High). Valid when RISKTYPE = IM |
| fire_im_pstfire | Integer | Likelihood of future wildfires based on where they have occurred in the
past Scale: 0 = Least Likely, 49 = Most Likely. Valid when RISKTYPE = IM |
| fire_im_severe | Integer | Severity of fire behavior based on topography (slope, aspect and elevation),
prevailing weather patterns (based on weather readings at nation-wide stations) and
the fuel type present (40 different subsets of grass, shrub and timber vegetation
types) Scale: 0 = Lowest Severity, 49 = Highest Severity. Valid when RISKTYPE = IM |
| fire_im_adjmnt | Integer | Intermix risk adjustment due to weighted effect of aspect, crown fire, evc,
foehn, golfcourse, roaddist, slope and waterdist values Scale: 0 = Greatest Mitigating Effect, 49 = Greatest Aggravating Effect. Valid when RISKTYPE = IM. |

| fire_im_water | Char (10) | Availability of water sources Scale: Greatest mitigating effect (Low) to greatest aggravating effect (High). Valid when RISKTYPE = IM |
| fire_wl_freq | Integer | Likelihood of future wildfires based on simulation Scale: 0 = Least Likely, 49 = Most Likely. Valid when RISKTYPE = WL |
| fire_wl_fsprox | Integer | Impact of distance to nearest fire station on the probability of successful
fire suppression or structure protection efforts. Scale: 0 = Closer to Fire Station, 49 = Farther from Fire Station. Valid when RISKTYPE = WL |
| fire_wl_nonburn | Char (10) | Effect related to the continuity of burnable area (roads, bare ground, snow and ice, etc.) which may reduce wildfire severity. Captures coarser-scale interruptions in fuels than IM_VEGCVR component Scale: Least mitigating (Low) to greatest mitigating (High). Valid when RISKTYPE = WL |
| fire_wl_pstfire | Integer | Likelihood of future wildfires based on where they have occurred in the past
