Brief description

This layer represents the spatial extent of fires recorded since 1903 primarily on public land. The layer includes bushfires and DEECA planned burn information. This dataset only shows the fire scars (boundaries) - to allow a simplified view of fire history, showing just where fire entered the landscape and does not include severity.
Fire Scar data is collected in eMap for both planned burns and bushfires then joined with EM Incidents and Fuel Management Data to complete the information.
CFA data on major fires occurring on private land has also been included since 2009.

This data set was updated in July 2026 and is current for the 25/26 fire season.
