20180713 16012000 1.0 FGDC CSDGM Metadata TRUE <div>The purpose of this polygon dataset is to record the time and spatial dependent nature of defensive actions occurring during the Tanglewood Fire. Identifying the locations, and associated features, for defensive actions facilitates understanding features which independently survived a WUI event. Defensive actions are a key component to understanding a WUI incident. When possible this polygon dataset identifies specific resources used in the defense and features defended through related tables. The 2011 Tanglewood fire was assessed through a joint effort by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and Texas A&M Forest Service (TFS)was conducted as part of the <a href='https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/wui-fire-exposure-data-collection-and-modeling-project' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>NIST/USFS Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fire Exposure Data Collection and Modeling Project</a>. <div> </div> The Tanglewood Fire started February 27, 2011, about 10 mi south of Amarillo in the Timbercreek Canyon community about 2 mi west of Lake Tanglewood. The Tanglewood Fire was part of a larger complex of fires that included the Willow Creek Fire and Country Club Fire, all of which began February 27, 2011, on the outskirts of Amarillo. For this assessment, limited resources permitted study of only one incident, for which the Tanglewood Fire was chosen. This study began with detailed collection of postfire information by NIST and TFS according to the NIST/USFS WUI Assessment Methodology (Maranghides et al. 2011). Training of TFS staff in methods of field data collection occurred before the incident, and mobile data collection equipment for this effort was pre-staged in Texas. NIST and USFS began gathering electronic data for the incident within 6 hours of the fire’s onset. Within 48 hours, NIST and TFS integrated a field data collection team into the Incident Command System (ICS) to conduct the post-fire assessment. The deployment also worked in conjunction with state and local damage assessment efforts. <div> The objective of the <a href='https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/wui-fire-exposure-data-collection-and-modeling-project' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>WUI Fire Exposure Data Collection and Modeling Project</a> is to develop the measurement science needed to mitigate the effects of WUI fires by providing technical guidance on building components, landscaping elements, and community designs that resist the ignition and limit the spread of such fires. The project’s overall vision is to help reduce structure and community vulnerability to WUI fires through development of fire-resistant design and materials, based on reliable post-fire data and promoted through incorporation into codes, standards, and best practices. Post-fire analysis of WUI fires such as that conducted for the Tanglewood Fire provides the knowledge to focus experiments and modeling on critical vulnerabilities of structures, landscaping, and materials. Standard data collection methodologies will also help generate reliable post-fire data. Two reports provide additional information on the overall Tanglewood Fire postfire assessment. A report entitled 2011 Wildland Urban Interface Amarillo Fires Report #2—Assessment of Fire Behavior and WUI Measurement Science (<a href='https://www.nist.gov/publications/2011-wildland-urban-interface-amarillo-fires-report-2-150-assessment-fire-behavior-and' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>Maranghides and McNamara, 2016</a>) provides the most detailed information on the Tanglewood Fire assessment, whereas Initial Reconnaissance of the 2011 Wildland-Urban Interface Fires in Amarillo, Texas (<a href='https://www.nist.gov/publications/initial-reconnaissance-2011-wildland-urban-interfaces-fires-amarillo-texas' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>Maranghides et al. 2011</a>) provides an overview of deployment procedures and initial assessment results.
