GRS was contracted by the Alaska Region of the US Fish and Wildlife Service to compile a comprehensive GIS database for fire management and coordination. GRS compiled over 150 GIS themes from various state and federal agencies relating to fire management, resource descriptions, physical features, transportation, and land cover.
GRS also created derivative themes for fire modeling and assessment and developed analysis models for performing summaries required in the national Fire Program Analysis System. These data were packaged for individual refuges as well as a statewide data set for region-level analysis. 
This image displays historic fire perimeters from the Alaska Fire Service and Ignition locations from the Alaska Interagency Coordinating Committee. These themes are displayed over 60m digital elevation model shaded relief color coded for elevation.
