NT_FireHistory_GPKG
The aim of this dataset is to produce a spatial product with fire extents compared against available remote sensing data. Since the 2000's data has been sourced from NAFI and NTFES fire management systems and validated to produce a fire history dataset. The NT Fire History dataset is published publicly and complies with the AFAC Fire History Guideline Fire history data dictionary (https://www.afac.com.au/insight/doctrine/article/current/fire-history-data-dictionary). The dataset is also referenced in the National Historical Bushfire Boundaries Digital Atlas of Australia (digital.atlas.gov.au/datasets/digital atlas: historical-bushfire-boundaries-3/about).
This data type is available as an Open Source GeoPackage.
Data is sourced from the mapping of wildfires and fire mitigation by the Northern Territory Fire and Emergency Services and the use of Charles Darwin University - Northern Australia and Rangelands Fire Information (CDU NAFI). Property and infrastructure assets may be covered by a burnt area which does not indicate that the asset including homes was burnt by fire. The burnt areas are indicative of a burnt area and the resolution of the data may vary between 10m to 275m. Assets that are well defended may still show covered by a burnt area.
This data is also available on the Geoscience Australia Digital Atlas: https://digital.atlas.gov.au/datasets/digital%20atlas:%20historical-bushfire-boundaries-3/about.
This dataset covers the date range from approximately 01 January until approximately 01 August.
