Abstract

Fire plays a vital role in forest management in Canada and the cost of fire management varies significantly both spatially and temporally. We present the fixed (pre-suppression) and variable (suppression) expenditures incurred by Canadian forest and wildland fire management agencies over the period 1970–2013. We describe how the data was compiled, display it in a graphical format, present the results of our preliminary analysis of that data and discuss those results and the need to investigate both fire management productivity and the factors that influence it. The data is available in a public repository where it can be readily accessed by others who wish to explore it in further detail.
