Ignition tracking data on prescribed fires at Ft. Stewart Army Base 2024

Ignition tracking data collected with Garmin GPS and Go Pro recorders for prescribed fire research. Ignitions for the Ft. Stewart 2024 prescribed burns were completed primarily with dragon eggs dropped from a helicopter, and the ground ignitions were completed with a terra torch attached to the back of a pickup truck. The terra torch ignitions were used to set the black line, that is a line of fire set to have a backing fire burn a side of the unit that will "receive" the main ignitions by the helicopter. The remaining ignitions by the terra torch were used to "clean up/mop up" remaining areas around edges of the burn unit that did ignite due to local conditions (e.g. variability in the landscape).This dataset is part of the Wildland Fire Science Initiative (WFSI) research burn campaign held at Fort Stewart from February 8th 2024 to February 10th 2024. In addition, pre- and post-fire data collection occurred before and after these dates.
