Steps

  1. Find the dataset 'about' page on data-nifc.opendata.arcgis.com (e.g., WFIGS Current Interagency Fire Perimeters) to get the FeatureServer URL and layer id
  2. Call GET https://services3.arcgis.com/T4QMspbfLg3qTGWY/arcgis/rest/services/WFIGS_Interagency_Perimeters_Current/FeatureServer/0/query?where=1%3D1&outFields=*&f=geojson
  3. Add geometry/geometryType/spatialRel params to filter results to your area of interest
  4. Paginate using resultOffset and resultRecordCount since the service caps at 2000 records per call
  5. For historical (not just current) fires, switch to the InterAgencyFirePerimeterHistory layer instead
