A new look at fire in the 285 corridor

Hello all.

As I am between jobs, I am brushing up on my statistics and data visualization skills. I downloaded fire data from the U.S. Forest Service and made this interactive dashboard to illustrate fires in our community. The dashboard contains four graphs which are also interactive.

This is just a proof-of-concept for me. If this kind of thing is interesting to members here, then I will try to get all the relevant data and update this dashboard. Your thoughts and criticism are welcomed.

I did a map of the tornado data, too. I shared some of these on Facebook last week. The interest there prompted to do this improved fire dashboard with better visualizations for the fire data. You can get to all of them in blog at eighteenchains.com.

I hope that by linking to them here I will get some more feedback. Once I do, I plan to get more data and fine tune the fire dashbaord as I improve my skills. Then I'll start looking for more projects that will be of interest to the 285 community.

There appears to be a dramatic drop off in fires after 2005.
