ICS Map Symbology

The use of standard symbols in mapping wildland fires facilitates fast and consistent interpretation of mapping products and helps prevent ambiguous map interpretation, which can become a safety issue during an incident. In the interest of encouraging safety, consistency, and readability, GeoOps describes the symbols that everyone should use when creating maps, whether digitally or by hand.

Here are the symbols created from the event theme layer files.  You can also refer to the  GeoOps  for a complete list of symbols used in fire map creation.

Remember, check with your Situation Unit Leader before assigning any symbology to your map. Always use the correct symbol for each feature type as designated by GeoOps.
