Data-driven business insights: leveraging wildfire parameters for informed decisions

Lat and lon
These are the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the location where the fire occured.
Start date
Start date represents when the fire was first detected or reported.
Contained date
Contained date represents the date when the fire was under control or fully extinguished.
Burned area in acres
This value represents the extent of the srea that was affected by the fire and sunsequently burned.
FWI (Fire Weather Index)
FWI values recorded during the period when the fire was burning help assess the fire danger level and understand the fire behavior during the fire event.
FRP (Fire Radiative Power)
FRP values recorded during the period when the fire was burning represent the amount of thermal radiation emitted by a fire.
Elevation
The minimum and maximum elevation values represent the range of elevations observed within the burned area of the fire.
Vegetation Indices
These indices, such as NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index), provide information about the vegetation
cover and health in the vicinity of the fire.
Ecoregion
Specific ecoregion or ecological region where the fire occurred.
