, Description
This is a wildfire database for the CONUS and Alaska regions based on the VIIRS S-NPP 375m product. The database consists of two parts, the first part is a zip file that contains shapefiles of all the fires, and the second part is a summary csv file which contains summary of all the wildfires in the zip file. The csv file provides the cluster id, start date, end date, ignition location, centroid location, and number of VIIRS S-NPP hotspots in each fire, for all the wildfires for 2012-23. From the cluster id in the csv, the shapefile of any fire in all fires zip file can be identified..
