Thank you. I’ve been curious how far back we have data for burn areas.

AFS has devoted a fair bit of off-season time to improving the historical record, though there is hardly anything before the mid-1940s. Perimeters on large fires are probably reasonable. However, smaller fires (≤1000 acres) may or may not have been digitized. Data much better post 1975.
