Potential Operational Delineations (PODs) are fire management and planning units defined by potential control features that can be leveraged for fire containment during a wildfire or prescribed fire. Typical POD boundaries are a combination of roads, rivers, major ridges, barren areas, waterbodies, major fuel changes, or other locations that facilitate control.
This data set was developed for use within WFDSS to identify and display Potential Operational Delineations (PODs) approved by agency administrators. The PODs data displayed in WFDSS were obtained from the National PODs Feature Service (Internal to the NIFC AGOL Org). No edits were made to the geometry or geography of these data. However, the attribution was converted to the WFDSS data standard to ensure that they matched our existing data structure inside the application. The integrity of the data was not compromised in this conversion and these data still accurately represent the data in the National PODs Feature Service (Internal to NIFC).
Two PODs layers are available within the WFDSS Application:
To learn more about the attributes of these two layer, please reference the NWCG PODs Data Standards.
NOTE: The PODs data available in WFDSS is a static copy taken from the National PODs Feature Service. Any changes made to the National PODs Feature Service will not be available in WFDSS until the next data pull. |

The WFDSS application is "data rich". It requires data which is spatially oriented and graphically displays information to support wildland fire and other natural resource decisions. In April 2009, an interagency GIS team was formed to provide data support for WFDSS. This team is responsible for acquiring, consolidating, and validating their agency spatial and tabular data. In addition, this team develops and maintains communications amongst local, regional, and national agency personnel to improve the collection process and provide explicit guidance on data needs. The members of the WFDSS GIS Team are:
