TODAY'S HUMAN FIRES BY OWNERSHIP
This field automatically clears itself daily. Enter the number of new human‐caused fires reported by land ownership for the reporting period.
TODAY'S HUMAN ACRES BY OWNERSHIP
This field automatically clears itself daily. The number entered is the total acres burned by land ownership during the reporting period, which includes acreage from large and Complex fires. Acreages must be rounded up or down to the next whole number; e.g., .4 acres or less would be rounded down to zero and .5 or more would be rounded up to 1 acre.
NOTE: The number of new human‐caused fires and new human‐caused acres burned do not
necessarily relate to each other; it is quite common to have new acres burned with no new fires
being reported.Example: 1 new human-caused fire was reported yesterday on the XYZ unit for 60 acres burned. Today, there were no new human‐caused fires, but yesterday’s fire is now 400 acres in size. The report should show 0 new human‐caused fires and 340 new human‐caused acres burned.
