CAL FIRE Damage Inspection (DINS) Data

<div style='text-align:left;'><p style='font-size:12pt;'><span style='font-size:16px;'><span>This database is used to document all structures impacted by wildland fire within the Statewide Responsibility Area (SRA) that are inside or within 300 feet of the fire perimeter. Information such as structure type, construction features, and defensive actions are determined as best as possible. Attributes with null values could not be determined.</span></span></p><p><span style='font-size:16px;'><span>Fire damage and poor access are major limiting factors for damage inspectors.&nbsp;</span>All inspections are conducted using a systematic inspection process, however not all structures impacted by the fire may be identified due</span><span style='background-color:rgb(255,255,255); font-size:16px;'>&nbsp;</span><span style='font-size:16px;'>to these factors.&nbsp;Therefore, a small margin of error is expected. Two address fields are included in the database. The street number, street name, and street type fields are “field determined.” The inspector inputs this information based on what they see in the field. The Address (parcel) and APN (parcel) fields are added through a spatial join after data collection is complete.</span></p></div><p><span style='font-size:16px;'>Qualifiying Buildings&nbsp;or Structures:&nbsp;A structure equal&nbsp;to&nbsp;or greater&nbsp;than&nbsp;one&nbsp;hundred-twenty&nbsp;(120)&nbsp;square&nbsp;feet&nbsp;in size&nbsp;with&nbsp;two&nbsp;or more&nbsp;outside&nbsp;rigid&nbsp;walls and&nbsp;a&nbsp;fully secured&nbsp;roof&nbsp;that is affixed&nbsp;to a permanent&nbsp;site or:&nbsp;</span></p><ul><li><span style='font-size:16px;'>A&nbsp;manufactured&nbsp;home&nbsp;(a&nbsp;“manufactured home”&nbsp;also known&nbsp;as&nbsp;a mobile homes&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;structure&nbsp;uilt&nbsp;on&nbsp;a permananent&nbsp;chassiss&nbsp;transported&nbsp;to&nbsp;its&nbsp;site&nbsp;in&nbsp;one&nbsp;or more&nbsp;sections&nbsp;and&nbsp;affixed to&nbsp;a permanent&nbsp;foundation)&nbsp;or</span></li><li><span style='font-size:16px;'>A&nbsp;travel&nbsp;trailer&nbsp;without&nbsp;wheels,&nbsp;built on&nbsp;a&nbsp;chassis&nbsp;and&nbsp;affixed to&nbsp;a&nbsp;permanent&nbsp;foundation,&nbsp;that&nbsp;is&nbsp;regulated&nbsp;under&nbsp;the&nbsp;community's&nbsp;floodplain management&nbsp;and&nbsp;building ordinances&nbsp;or&nbsp;laws.&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style='font-size:16px;'>Includes&nbsp;buildings&nbsp;that are&nbsp;less&nbsp;than&nbsp;one&nbsp;hundred-twenty&nbsp;(120) square&nbsp;feet&nbsp;in size&nbsp;that are&nbsp;used&nbsp;for&nbsp;human&nbsp;habitation&nbsp;.
