Short summary
There is broad consensus that wildfire activity is likely to increase in western US forests and woodlands over the next century. Therefore, spatial predictions of the potential for large wildfires have immediate and growing relevance to near and long-term research, planning, and management objectives. The dataset described here is a weekly time series of images (250 m resolution) from 2005 to 2017 that depicts the probability of large fire across western US forests and woodlands.
