Overview
In the past, fires in southwestern Australia were recorded on paper maps by the Department of
Conservation and Land Management (CALM) and the Forests Department.
Transfer of this information to a Geographic Information System (GIS) is seen as critical to land management in the southwest, particularly for fire planning.
This poster describes the development and application of a fire history database for the southwest of WA.
