2003 Southern California Fire Assessments: Surface Fuels Tables

Surface fuels in the Fire Behavior Prediction System (FBPS). Along with slope and expected fire frequency, fuels are a major component in determining fire threat. For state- and county-wide data on surface fuels, and metadata, see http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/data/frapgisdata/select.asp.

FRAP/RSL make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of data or maps. In particular, data relating to recently burned areas reflect generalized perimeters and represent coarse, preliminary assessments of the fire perimeters, and fire sizes, and may change or not correspond to other officially reported acreage. Areas close to, or inside of the perimeters represented here may or may not have actually burned. The user will not seek to hold either the Federal or State Government, nor the US Forest Service or CDF liable under any circumstances for any damages with respect to any claim by the user or any third party on account of or arising from the use of data or maps.
