- Limitations
- This data reflects only wildfires that a NYS DEC Forest Ranger have extinguished and any wildfire 10.0 acres and larger. It does not include wildfires extinguished by fire departments only. Forest ranger wildfire data represents approximately 2.7% of the total number of wildfires that fire departments report (2005-2014). The data also includes all prescribed fires that occur on DEC state lands and cooperating partners, such as the Albany Pine Bush Commission.
