A central portal for data management and collection was required by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). This portal would systematically distribute information across programs related to fire prevention, fuel reduction, and forest improvement. By overseeing the response tasks and fire planning, CAL FIRE is in charge of monitoring both public and private lands.

Cal Fire and VESTRA entered into a contract for the upgrade and addition of features to Cal Fire's CalMAPPER web application.
