This data publication contains infrared and visible data collected as part of a Joint Fire Science Program project designed to collect landscape-scale fuels data before and after prescribed fires to quantify consumption, collect data for the parameterization and evaluation of computational flow-dynamics models for simulating fire behavior, and synthesize data for the evaluation of fuels treatment effectiveness. The data include orthorectified in-fire long-wave infrared (LWIR) and visible (VNIR) images collected via a fixed wing aircraft with the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Wildfire Airborne Sensor Program (WASP) instrument during three separate fire experiments in the New Jersey Pinelands, specifically in Ocean and Burlington Counties. Fire experiments Ex1, Ex2 and Ex3 were performed on 3/5/2013, 3/4/2014 and 3/19/2015, respectively. Ex3 includes only LWIR infrared data. A series of images were taken of the entire fire experiment approximately every three seconds for each fire. [This data product is archived in the USFS Research Data Archive, number RDS-2017-0063.]
