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'.
