Obtain Alaska fire perimeter data

Obtain Alaska Fire Service historical Alaska fire perimeter data.

fire_perimeters(years = 1940:2017)

Arguments

years	numeric vector, defaults to all available years, 1940 - 2017.

Value

a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame

Details

The most current fire perimeter data available through this function is up through 2017. The data is pulled from SNAP via Amazon Web Services. It is downloaded and imported from a ~21 MB rds file as a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame. For slow connections, please allow time for download. Subsetting years does not affect this because the full file is imported and any subsetting is done subsequently.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
x <- fire_perimiters()
# }
