      <abstract>This shapefile contains the Fire History for Ventura County Fire Department. Digitizing the departments fire history that was maintained on 1:24000 USGS Topographic Maps originally generated this information.</abstract>
      <purpose>Created for mapping purposes, to show histocial fires in Ventura County.
This data is intended for geographic display and analysis at the County level, at the approximate scale range of 1:1,200 to 1:24,000.  Accuracy may vary by geographic area.  See the Data Quality and Source information for this dataset for more specific information. Since 2000 this data has also been set to the state (FRAP) for inclusion in the California Fire Plan.</purpose>

    <overview>
      <eaover>The MSDA (Mapping Service and Data Analysis) Division maintains GIS data in Shape file format.

 The Mapping Division maintains GIS data in Arc/Info coverage format using ArcStorm, which results in various coverage and data management attributes being added to the files.  These attributes remain when the files are exported to shapefile, although they may no longer applicable to anyone viewing or using the shapefile.   There may also be relic attributes left over from conversion from CAD which are not currently used but are kept for historical purposes (typically, these will have a DXF suffix).  In addition, because some files are maintained separately from attribute data, the shapefiles may have various key fields used to join with tabular data.  These fields may not be applicable to current users of the data.  For brevity, these types of attributes are indicated as "not used" in the metadata.</eaover>
