The wildland fire open data site is changing how people stay informed about wildfires in their area and across the country. This publicly-available data is driving the creation of innovative tools by private-sector companies like Google and the New York Times while also making information widely available for individuals. The need for this information is apparent. Over a two-month period during the height of this summer’s record-setting fire season, a single dataset from the site was accessed 1.2 billion times.
