The Forest Service uses 3D GIS to communicate wildfire information to a very large group of wildfire fighting teams. James Hubbard, deputy chief of the Forest Service, accepted the award during the Esri 3D Imaging and Mapping Forum, June 26, 2016.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are paying a lot of attention to reducing fire fighters\u2019 unnecessary exposure to risk,\u201d Hubbard said. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to put firefighters into situations where they can\u2019t succeed or have a low probability of succeeding. 3D mapping gives us a better idea of where they should go or not go. It also helps them be more effective firefighters.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Forest Service received the award because Esri considers it as a major contributor to the advancement of 3D GIS technology.  Its user requirements have helped Esri\u2019s 3D development team set its priorities. The Forest Service uses 3D GIS to substantially communicate wildfire information to a very large group of its users. In one week, it trained 2,000 people to use a 3D wildfire management web application.<br \/>\nStaff easily accesses essential data provided by the National Interagency Fire Center, layers it onto a 3D base map, and has a multidimensional perspective of a wildfire\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"sync_status":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","castos_file_data":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[279922,279932,209772,279942,279892,279952,279962,174552],"class_list":["post-7522","insider","type-insider","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-esri-insider","tag-3d-base-map","tag-3d-gis","tag-esri","tag-forest-service","tag-gis-technology","tag-james-hubbard","tag-layers","tag-usfs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The US Forest Service Receives the Esri 3D Excellence Award<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/insider\/the-us-forest-service-receives-the-esri-3d-excellence-award\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The US Forest Service Receives the Esri 3D Excellence Award\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"By Barbara Shields, Esri Esri honored the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USFS) with its 3D Excellence Award.
