Ignition tracking data on prescribed fires at Ft. Stewart Army Base 2022

Ignition tracking data for the prescribed fire research campaign conducted at Ft. Stewart Army Base (2022). This data can be used to coordinate other prescribed fire datasets collected at each site to better understand where and when ignitions occurred and the fire behavior afterwards. This data was collected with handheld Garmin GPS units, and also Go Pro cameras, processed with ArcGIS Pro geospatial software, GQIS geospatial software, and exist as text files with UTM Zone 17 N locations, date and time (Zulu time zone). The helicopter ignitions used a dragon ball hopper that operated at '2-slow' for all burns.
