This image is derived from MODIS and MCI satellite imagery by Charles Darwin University. 

It is provided in the projection GCS_GDA_1994 and is based on the monthly fire scar mapping. Details of the process for mapping fire scars is available on the NAFI website (https://firenorth.org.au). 

The annual fire scar raster layers this dataset is derived from have their pixels aligned to the same grid. More information on the mapping process and data reliability can be obtained from the Metadata file and the email contact below.

The pixel value represents the number of times that pixel has been identified as being burnt after July 31 in the 26 year period 2000 - 2025. 

You can colour code the pixels using the same colour table used for the NAFI website display with the following RGB values:

1 year:     189 240 243
