Steps

  1. Use the Map Viewer at landfire.gov/viewer to draw a rectangle/polygon/GeoJSON extent and select product layers (e.g., 240FBFM40 fuel model, 240CBD canopy bulk density, 240CBH canopy base height, ELEV2020)
  2. For full-CONUS or full-state coverage, use the static zip downloads at landfire.gov/data/FullExtentDownloads instead
  3. For scripted/programmatic access, call the LANDFIRE Product Service (LFPS), an Esri REST API at lfps.usgs.gov, from Python, wget, or Postman (no API key required)
  4. For streaming access rather than downloads, use the WCS/WMS endpoints documented at landfire.gov/data/lf_wcs_wms or via ArcGIS Online
