            <abstract>The Canadian National Fire Database (CNFDB) Fire Point and Polygon Data is a collection of forest fire locations and fire perimeters as provided by Canadian fire management agencies including provinces, territories, and Parks Canada.To create the Canada-wide product, the data collected from each agency are projected into a common format and combined with data from other agencies; attribute fields are standardized; agency specific attribute fields are removed; and polygon areas are calculated using GIS. Note that the data contained in the CNFDB are not complete nor are they without error. Locations are approximate. Not all fires have been mapped, and data accuracy varies due to different mapping techniques. This collection includes only data that has been contributed by the agencies. Data completeness and quality vary among agencies and between years. For analyses for a single province or territory or for Parks Canada, we suggest you contact the appropriate agency. Links to the agency web sites can be found http://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/ha/nfdb, or can be found through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) website at http://www.ciffc.caThe database is a large collaborative effort by all Canadian fire agencies. We thank the many individuals who contributed to this effort, including fire crews, field personnel, photo interpreters, pilots, digitizers, and analysts. Compilation of the Canada-wide database was partially supported by the Canadian government programs of ENFOR (ENergy from the FORest), the Program on Energy Research and Development, the Climate Change Action Fund, and Action Plan 2000.

Pour obtenir un produit pancanadien, les données recueillies auprès de chaque agence sont projetées dans un format commun et combinées aux données d’autres agences, les champs d’attributs sont normalisés, les champs d’attributs propres à une agence sont supprimés, et la superficie des polygones est calculée à l’aide d’un SIG.Il est à noter que les données contenues dans la BNDFFC ne sont ni exhaustives ni sans erreur. Tous les feux n’ont pas été cartographiés, et l’exactitude des données varie selon les différentes techniques de cartographie. Cette base de données ne contient que les données fournies par les agences. L’exhaustivité et la qualité des données peuvent varier d’une agence et d’une année à l’autre.Pour obtenir des analyses à l’égard d’une province ou d’un territoire unique ou de Parcs Canada, communiquez avec l’agence responsable appropriée. Les liens aux sites Web des agences sont disponibles via le Centre interservices des feux de forêt du Canada (CIFFC).Cette base de données est le fruit d'un travail de collaboration entre tous les organismes de lutte contreles incendies du Canada. Nous remercions tous ceux qui ont contribué au projet, notamment les équipes de pompiers, le personnel de terrain, le personnel de photo-interprétation, les pilotes, les responsables de la numérisation et les analystes. Le travail de compilation de cette base de données à l'échelle canadienne est appuyé par les programmes canadiens ENFOR (Programme de l'énergie forestière) et PERD (Programme de recherche et développement énergétique) et par le Fonds d'action sur le changement climatique et le Plan d'action 2000.Veuillez noter que vous devez accepter les conditions de l’Entente d’utilisation de la Base nationale de données sur les feux de forêt pour pouvoir accéder aux données.

            <purpose>The Canadian National Fire Database (CNFDB) Fire Point and Polygon Data is a collection of forest fire locations and fire perimeters as provided by Canadian fire management agencies including provinces, territories, and Parks Canada. The forest fire data contained in the CNFDB have a wide range of uses including national scale mapping, statistical and spatial analysis and research involving natural disturbance.</purpose>
            <supplinf>The CNFDB fire point and polygon data are collected from Canadian fire management agencies including provinces, territories, and Parks Canada. To create the Canada-wide product, the data collected from each agency are projected into a common format and combined with data from other agencies; attribute fields are standardized; agency specific attribute fields are removed; and polygon areas are calculated using GIS.

Not all fires have been mapped, and data accuracy varies due to different mapping techniques. This collection includes only data that has been contributed by the agencies.

        <idPurp>The Canadian National Fire Database (CNFDB) Fire Point and Polygon Data is a collection of forest fire locations and fire perimeters as provided by Canadian fire management agencies including provinces, territories, and Parks Canada. The forest fire data contained in the CNFDB have a wide range of uses including national scale mapping, statistical and spatial analysis and research involving natural disturbance.

Note that the "large fire" version of the database includes only large fires greater than 200 hectares (as reported by agency) — these represent a small percentage of all fires but account for most of the area burned (usually more than 97%).</idPurp>

Locations are approximate. Not all fires have been mapped, and data accuracy varies due to different mapping techniques. This collection includes only data that has been contributed by the agencies. Data completeness and quality vary among agencies and between years. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;For analyses for a single province or territory or for Parks Canada, we suggest you contact the appropriate agency. Links to the agency web sites can be found &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="http://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/ha/nfdb"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;http&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;s&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/ha/nfdb&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;, or can be found through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) website at &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.ciffc.ca"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;http://www.ciffc.ca&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN /&gt;&lt;SPAN /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The database is a large collaborative effort by all Canadian fire agencies. We thank the many individuals who contributed to this effort, including fire crews, field personnel, photo interpreters, pilots, digitizers, and analysts. Compilation of the Canada-wide database was partially supported by the Canadian government programs of ENFOR (ENergy from the FORest), the Program on Energy Research and Development, the Climate Change Action Fund, and Action Plan 2000. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Please note that an End-User Agreement is required for accessing these data.
