AFRAA Data Upgrade & Transition Plan for 2025 Fire Season

Given the mission-critical nature of AFRAA dataset and federal mandates, the FS Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) and AFRAA data stewards will fully support the legacy map services throughout the 2025 fire season before retirement. The latest 2025 data, approved by Forest Service Regional Forester and GIS Coordinators, has been integrated into legacy schemas, ensuring authoritative data while maintaining backward compatibility for applications relying on legacy endpoints.
