This layer shows the percentage of treated POD lines within the northwest region during the last 20 years, starting with the beginning of fiscal year 2003 (10/1/2002) through the publish date. Treatment data came from lands managed by the Department of the Interior or the U.S. Forest Service. Treatments include fuels, timber, and brush. All wildland fire or naturally-caused fire data was not included.

Analysis will be rerun when there have been significant updates to the PNW POD layer.

PODs are a strategic planning tool developed using local expertise and often advanced spatial analysis. They are meant to identify the safest and most effective control lines used to contain a wildfire and can assist in integrating land management objectives and incident response. Layer used to run the analysis on is a a consolidated layer of PODs from multiple units.
