  1. FOURMILE CANYON FIRE A Mapping Study

  2. Purpose • A simple map of the progress of the fire by mapping of perimeter data. • Map the locations of destroyed houses. • Values of the destroyed homes. • Theoretical response time of firefighters to the area.

  3. Data Sources: Perimeter Data: http://rmgsc.cr.usgs.gov/outgoing/GeoMAC/2010_fire_data/ Colorado/Fourmile%20 Canyon/ co_fourmile_canyon_20100910_0135_dd83.zip Roads. http://www.bouldercounty.org/gis/downloads/ dl_shapefiles.htm#Roads and Highways/ Addresses of Burned Structures: http://www.bouldercounty.org/fourmilefire/ follow link to FourmileFireDestroyedResidencesList_15Sept2010[1].pdf Property Values of Burned Structures: http://map.co.boulder.co.us:8080/basemap/default.jsp Base Map: National Map Seamless Server: http://seamless.usgs.gov/ DOQQ: Denver 2008, 0.6m resolution DRG: 1:24k scale; nominally the Boulder, CO quadrangle DEM: NED 1/3 arc second (10m) resolution

  5. Further Study • Mapping locations of all structures in the area along with their • values. • Determining actual structural value destroyed. • Analysis of intact structure values.

  6. What Did We Learn • What Was Surprising. • Inadequacies of the publicly available data. • Better data available, but for a price. • What Was Challenging. • Editing the data to the point where it would be useful. • An interesting exercise in how real-world data often needs • to be manipulated.

  7. Only YOU can prevent forest fires
