Fire Locations and Perimeters Sample Clauses

Fire Locations and Perimeters. Fire Location (Origin) points are entered and edited through the CAD systems. GIS protocols have been established for submitting on-going fire perimeters to AICC. Once approved, these AICC perimeters should be considered the definitive perimeter source for an incident. IMTs, Protecting Agencies, and Jurisdictional Agencies must collaborate to ensure the integrity of perimeter data. It is the responsibility of the Protecting Agency to ensure that periodic fire perimeter data is submitted for all ongoing fires ten (10) acres or greater. Jurisdictional and Protecting Agencies will negotiate timelines for fire surveillance updates and perimeter maps submissions. Final fire perimeters submitted with the final fire reports are added to the GIS Fire History dataset. A consolidated statewide fire history dataset is available annually in April from AFS. Incident perimeter updates may be submitted at any time in order to ensure that historical datasets include the most accurate data available. In order for the data to be included in the current year’s historical dataset, they must be submitted to AFS GIS prior to March 1. The protocols for submitting fire perimeters, including points of contact for user names and passwords are available in Appendix C of the Alaska Agency Administrator’s Guide (xxxxx://xxxx.xx.xxx.xxx/administration/aaguide.php).

Fire Locations and Perimeters. IMTs, Protecting Agencies, and Jurisdictional Agencies must collaborate to ensure the integrity of fire location and perimeter data. Fire Location (Origin) points are entered through CAD systems and any changes should always be made through the CAD. AICC/AFS manages a fire perimeter dataset for Alaska. It is the responsibility of the Protecting Agency to ensure that periodic fire perimeter data is submitted for all ongoing fires ten (10) acres or greater. Jurisdictional and Protecting Agencies will negotiate timelines for fire surveillance and perimeter updates. All Alaska fire perimeters should be submitted to AICC/AFS using the current process described in the Perimeter Submission Guide available at xxxxx://xxxx.xx.xxx.xxx/predsvcs/maps.php. AICC/AFS will ensure that all approved perimeters are uploaded to the National Incident Feature Service. Even IMTs that are interacting with the National Incident Feature Service must submit perimeters directly to AICC/AFS. Once approved, the current AICC/AFS perimeter should be considered the definitive perimeter source for an incident. Final fire perimeters are due 15 days after a fire is called out so that they can be included in the final fire report and added to the AICC Fire History dataset. Fire location and perimeter updates may still be submitted after final fire reports have been certified however close coordination between the Protecting Agency, the Jurisdictional Agency and AICC/AFS GIS is essential. Updates to fire location and perimeter data submitted after January 1 may not be included in Fire History datasets until the following year.
