Supplemental Information
History: The forest management boundaries coverages (FORMB100) were copied, and the relevant arcs that formed fire district boundaries were highlighted and put into FIREDIST100. Roughly 80% of FIREDIST100 arcs came from FORMB100. The remainder of the arcs were copied from ROAD100, HYDRO100, LANDMMT100 and LGA100. There were also a few arcs that were digitised from the maps provided by Fire Suppression Section. Minimal processing was performed on FIREDIST100. Clean was avoided at all costs. (Greg Esnouf / Lisa Kollmorgan , Fire Suppression Section Hugo Caro, NRS) Relationship to other Datasets: The layer FIREDIST100 has been derived from ROAD100, HYDRO100, LANDMMT100, LGA100 and FORMB100 layers. Though a large percentage (~80%) of the fire district boundaries come from the forest management boundary coverages (FORMB100), if the forest management boundaries alter this will not require a subsequent edit FIREDIST100 Current Design Issues: This layer indicates boundaries of the Fire Districts.

Lineage

Statement
Dataset Source: Maps detailing the fire district boundaries were provided by Fire Suppression Section of Fire management Branch. If the boundary follows a stream, road, land management, local government area or forest management boundary, then those arcs were copied from those layers. Dataset Originality: Primary & Derived 
Description
Collection Method: Maps 
Description
Clean up of former boundaries to fix errors in the West and merging of two sets of two boundaries in the East.
