WildFireSA Advanced

To access WildFireSA Advanced, you first need to log into the Enterprise Geospatial Portal (EGP), and then select the WildFireSA Advanced application. If you do not have an EGP account, you can request one by following the steps outlined in the EGP-FAMAuth User Guide.

Yes, by using the Data tab you can add layers to the map using EGP’s data catalog, shapefiles, URLs, or an ArcGIS Online account.

You can view Airborne Intel by selecting an active incident from the Incidents panel on the right of the screen. After selecting an active incident, you will need to scroll down to the Airborne Intel section and select the Video, Image, or Feature tab.

This is because EGP updates our assigned resource and incident counts every five minutes. Additionally, EGP calculates specific active incident fall off rules which differ from other systems. Therefore, in order to provide the most recent data, our counts will most likely differ from the sitrep, for example, which is issued weekly or daily. We are in the process of updating to the most recent IRWIN schema and our legacy data source logic and will provide more resource updates in upcoming releases.

Resources (last row of dashboard) - derived from IRWIN's legacy resources schema, we are currently not using IRWIN active resources summary or resources summary tables, counts may differ from other systems.

Metrics (First two rows of dashboard) - derived from IRWIN and are generated using custom logic to get as close to the sitrep fields as possible, counts may differ from other systems.

We recommend all mobile users access WildFireSA Advanced through the ArcGIS Field Maps application. For information on how to access and utilize Field Maps, please refer to the ArcGIS Field Maps Quick-Start Guide .

You can share active incidents by selecting an incident from the Incidents panel, then selecting the Share button in the top right. The copied URL contains your current map view as well as the incident details.

Some layers are available only at certain zoom levels. If your map view is zoomed out too far, the layer you wish to access may not be available. If this happens, adjust the zoom level until the layer becomes available.

WildFireSA Advanced is designed to pull data from multiple sources to provide the most comprehensive data available across all data sources. This means that we are working with some third-party sources that have a human component of data entry, therefore there is sometimes a delay in when we receive certain information. We are working closely with our third-party partners to continue to improve the speed, accuracy, and overall performance of the WildFireSA Advanced application.

Active Incidents and WFIGS location information is based on reported information gathered from multiple official sources, while WFIGS perimeter information is derived through spatial calculations. These datasets are intended to be used in tandem to paint a more complete picture of an active incident and are not meant to match exactly.

After much feedback from our users requesting this functionality, we are currently working on a solution to allow you to save your Layers Menu customizations! Please stay tuned for more on this feature currently in development.

To see all the selected layers, you may want to change the order of the layers or adjust the layer’s opacity so that one layer isn’t blocking another. To adjust a layer’s opacity, select the layer’s Opacity button and adjust the slider. To rearrange layers, click and drag the Reposition button.

You can adjust the latitude and longitude of the map by adjusting the information within the URL bar. You may also adjust the zoom level in the URL bar if you would like for the map to give you a closer view of your desired location.

Alternatively, you may enter the coordinates your desired coordinates into the search bar on the rightmost side of the map extent.

You can export maps by using the Print button from the map toolbar.

Please ensure when using the Measure Tool that your endpoint does not overlap with one of the other nodes that you have dropped. For example, if you dropped your first node, then a second and third and are ready to complete your measurement, select an endpoint that does not overlap with any of the previously dropped nodes
