The Integrated Reporting of Wildland-Fire Information (IRWIN) service is an investment intended to enable “end-to-end” fire reporting capability. IRWIN provides data exchange capabilities between existing applications used to manage data related to wildland fire incidents. IRWIN focuses on the goals of reducing redundant data entry, identifying authoritative data sources, and improving the consistency, accuracy, and availability of operational data.

IRWIN can be thought of as a central hub that orchestrates data between the various applications. Users continue to utilize existing applications. Data is synchronized between participating applications to ensure the most current data is available in near real time. IRWIN supports conflict detection and resolution on all new wildfire incidents to support a unique record for each incident.
