Wildland fire activity is provided in a geospatial database of polygons over the conterminous United States for the 2004 through 2017 time period. The location, timing, and size of the fires are derived from a fusion of wildland fire activity from a consistent set of national ground reports, satellite, and geospatial fire data. A combination of information from the underlying data sources and a regional climatological approach is used to differentiate prescribed fire from unplanned wildfire. The data were developed as part of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Air Quality Time Series project (EQUATES). This dataset can be useful for the evaluation of wildland fire activity over time and across regions.
美国本土2004年至2017年期间的野火活动情况记录在一个多边形地理空间数据库中。火灾的位置、时间和规模来自于一系列一致的国家地面报告、卫星和地理空间火灾数据所融合的野火活动信息。利用基础数据源的信息与区域气候学方法相结合，来区分规定火烧与意外野火。这些数据是作为美国环境保护局（US EPA）空气质量时间序列项目（EQUATES）的一部分而编制的。该数据集对于评估不同时间和不同区域的野火活动可能会有所帮助。
