<abstract>
<gco:CharacterString>The aim of this dataset is to produce a spatial product with fire extents compared against available remote sensing data. Since the 2000's data has been sourced from NAFI and NTFES fire management systems and validated to produce a fire history dataset. The NT Fire History dataset is published publicly and complies with the AFAC Fire History Guideline Fire history data dictionary (https://www.afac.com.au/insight/doctrine/article/current/fire-history-data-dictionary). The dataset is also referenced in the National Historical Bushfire Boundaries Digital Atlas of Australia (digital.atlas.gov.au/datasets/digital atlas: historical-bushfire-boundaries-3/about). Ignition and Extinguish Dates: In this dataset, the ignition_date and extinguish_date fields are populated from the first and last dates of the mapping_period for each FSID generated internally from the CDU NAFI dataset. These dates represent the period of change observed by Sentinel and MODIS satellite passes over the incident area. For unattended fires, the original mapping period from NAFI is retained to preserve the highest possible temporal granularity.</gco:CharacterString>

<gco:CharacterString>Data QualityLineage: Data is sourced from the mapping of wildfires and fire mitigation by the Northern Territory Fire and Emergency Services and the use of Charles Darwin University - Northern Australia and Rangelands Fire Information (CDU NAFI).  Property and infrastructure assets may be covered by a burnt area which does not indicate that the asset including homes was burnt by fire.  The burnt areas are indicative of a burnt area and the resolution of the data may vary between 10m to 275m.  Assets that are well defended may still show covered by a burnt area.Positional Accuracy: Fire Extents vary depending on the spatial resolution of the dataAttribute Accuracy: Varied.Logical Consistency: Web Feature Service (WFS).Completeness: Complete - data updated intermittently.</gco:CharacterString>
