Abstract:

This data publication contains both tabular and vector point spatial data showing building location and outcomes for wildfires that destroyed buildings between 2000 and 2013 in the conterminous United States. Building destruction, subsequent rebuilding, and new construction within the fire perimeters are shown as points. Older fires show rebuilding and new for a longer time-span since fire.
