Burn Information

[Bowhuntr14]

First off I want to say hello, I found this sight after listening to many of the pod casts and have enjoyed reading many of the informative posts. We are planning a hunt in the next year and we are starting to do alot of e-scouting but the one thing I cannot locate is the "burn" information for the state of Montana. Can anyone lead me to the location of this information on the web.
Thanks to all for the help.

You can view the data on a web map like this: https://caltopo.com
Just turn on the fire perimeter layer.

The source data is downloadable from the USGS: GEOMAC

If using onx go to "my layers" and look in the "hunt" folder not Montana

Here are some links to additional incident information. All links exit the InciWeb site.

The onX app does a better job of aggregating historical information. InciWeb is good to find the most updated fires and status.

The options I presented you are FREE.

Thanks to all of you for the responses. I actually have OnX but never found the bur history layer. Thank you for that tip it is exactly what I was looking for.

you can research this site for historical information.
I use them for current information when headed into the back country.
