“…The IMSR is a valuable data source for both fire managers and researchers 25 , and we have seen efforts to obtain and use several pieces of IMSR information in research including the PL 26 , 27 and suppression resource use 28 30 . However, we are unaware of other efforts to generate a research-ready version of the IMSR archive, which would support broader use of these data.…”
