Abstract
Wildland fire is a way of life in southern California and can be devastating to businesses, residential communities, and wildlife. Application of frequency and interval models is an important focus of regional wildland fire management. The San Diego Fire History map series, as seen in the 2007 ESRI Map Book, showcases significant fires in San Diego County, from 1910 to 2003. This presentation will describe the process used to produce this map, and explain how and why this process is important. Some of the data used in this analysis can be downloaded through SanGIS's 'Download GIS Data'.
