This dataset includes details for each wildland fire recorded after 2007 under the jurisdiction of the DEC NYS Forest Rangers. Earlier wildfires (1975-2007) under the jurisdiction of NYS DEC Forest Rangers can be found in the historical wildfire dataset. That dataset was formatted for use with FireFamily Plus. Each wildfire controlled or prescribed fire conducted by NYS DEC Forest Rangers is documented as a single incident in this database.

DisclaimersLimitationsThis data reflects only wildfires that a NYS DEC Forest Ranger have extinguished and any wildfire 10.0 acres and larger. It does not include wildfires extinguished by fire departments only. Forest ranger wildfire data represents approximately 2.7% of the total number of wildfires that fire departments report (2005-2014). The data also includes all prescribed fires that occur on DEC state lands and cooperating partners, such as the Albany Pine Bush Commission.
