The scientists of the USGS study the landscape of the United States, its natural resources, and the natural hazards that threaten it. Use Domo's USGS Wildfires connector to retrieve the information about USGS Wildfires in ArcGIS layer metadata format. To find out more about USGS' API, see [https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/](https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/ "https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/"). You connect to your USGS Wildfires account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the USGS Wildfires connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").
