Project Title:  View help for Project Title 2011 Texas Tanglewood fire: post-fire database

Summary:  View help for Summary This data publication contains data collected and derived as part of a joint effort conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the United States Forest Service (USFS) and the Texas A&M Forest Service (TFS) to assess the 2011 Texas Tanglewood Fire (Tanglewood Fire). NIST and the USFS participated in the effort as part of the NIST/USFS Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fire Exposure Data Collection and Modeling Project (Butry et al. 2011). This data publication contains information on primary structures (e.g., residential homes), secondary structures (e.g., detached garages and fences), fire affected vegetation, fire progression, defensive actions and other property and landscape information pertaining to a post-fire assessment of the Tanglewood Fire. Additionally, this data package contains numerous post-fire images of the area affected by the Tanglewood Fire as well as active-fire images recorded by witnesses during the event. The Tanglewood Fire started on February 27, 2011 south of Amarillo, Texas in the Timber Creek Canyon Community south of Lake Tanglewood. NIST began gathering electronic data for the incident within 6 hours of the Tanglewood Fire. NIST and TFS integrated a field data collection team into the Incident Command System (ICS) within 48 hours to conduct the post-fire assessment. The deployment also worked in conjunction with state and local damage assessment efforts. The results of the data collection effort and subsequent office data processing are presented in this data package.
