Description:
Fire polygons from the "fire history" layer from the BLM Alaska Interagency Coordination Center (www.fire.ak.blm.gov) and the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) website at (http://www.ciffc.ca) were merged. In Canada, fire polygons from the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and British Columbia.
