About
This dataset provides Percent Fire Return Interval Departure (pFRID) estimates based on Vibrant Planet's 2023 analytical approach. Using statistical testing, it quantifies deviations from historical fire frequencies while accounting for natural variability in fire return intervals. This enhanced methodology distinguishes between random variability and significant shifts in wildfire patterns, offering a more nuanced understanding of fire regime departures. The dataset spans 17 western U.S. states, with partial coverage in 5 additional states, supporting wildfire management, ecological restoration, and risk assessment.
