The U.S. Forest Service is a United States agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, founded in 1905.[1]
Its EO role is as a satellite-data consumer and analysis producer for wildfire mapping, burned-area assessment, vegetation change detection, and landscape characterisation.[2][3] LANDFIRE is a joint USFS/USGS national geospatial data program producing fuel, vegetation, and disturbance layers for wildfire management, with annual updates from 2024 and an LF2024 release cycle spanning 2025-2026.[2][4] Burned Area Reflectance Classification is a post-fire burn-severity product from the USFS Remote Sensing Applications Center, derived from Landsat and Sentinel-2 for rapid delivery to Burned Area Emergency Response teams; the archive covers 2001-2024.[3] The Remote Sensing Applications Center in Salt Lake City receives satellite data and produces maps and reports for fire and resource management.[5]
