This data publication includes daily infrared (IR) burned area shapefiles from 42 forest fires from 2005 to 2007 and 2011 for central Idaho and western Montana. Original files were obtained from https://ftp.nifc.gov/. Fire data were selected based on availability of burn severity (dNBR) from MTBS.gov and five days of consecutive IR perimeter mapping. Also included is a file containing the proportion values for three burn severities (low, medium, high) located in each fire growth area, as well as a file containing basic information about these 42 forest fires.
