Abstract
 Smart techniques for a low-budget, high-performance wildfire GIS Track: Environmental Management Author(s): Peter Yurkosky This paper describes the implementation of the Mission-Driven Wildland Fire Mapping Project at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California. The project, a simple data-collection and analysis effort, is burdened by the restrictions imposed on field data collection at Camp Pendleton. These restrictions spurred the innovative use of GIS. In 2005 the project produced valuable fire data that can be used for environmental planning. This paper shows how GIS can be used to enhance a project that is limited by some decidedly low-tech methods, and attempts to uncover any implications for other small projects.
