NOTICE TO ALL USERS:
The fire perimeters in this directory are DRAFT data.  Efforts are ongoing 
to locate and automate additional fire perimeters, and to perform quality 
checking on the data.  The data is being made available in draft form due 
to a very high level of demand.  Because of this, we ask that you

requests for this data to the Alaska Fire Service.  Contact information is 
included at the end of this file, as well as in the metadata document included 
with the data (akfirehist07_metadata.htm).  This will allow us to keep an accurate 
record of who has received the data so that we can notify them when a production 
version is available.

Fire perimeters between 1942 and 1987, inclusive, were automated using Alaska 
Fire Service records, and mostly include fires greater than 1000 acres, as reported
in the incident report.  Fire perimeters between 1988 and 2007, inclusive, mostly
include fires greater than 100 acres, as reported in the incident report.  Please refer
