GIS STandard Operating Procedures on Incidents Originally published by NWCG in GSTOP Field Review 2013 GSTOP DRAFT completed & awaiting NWCG approval 2013 S-341 class content changes Final publication will change GISS PTB

GSTOP – Chapter 7 - Data Archiving and Sharing Specifications state: The primary datasets that need to be shared on a daily basis are the fire perimeter and fireline data layers. Post these data on a designated ftp site (e.g., ftp://ftp.nifc.gov) or Web site. Many applications and sites depend on this: many within the fire community
