Check all criteria that apply to the fire reports that you want included. I want Direct Protect fires for Northwest land office from 2000-2007. I ran the "Summary & Cost by Year" report.

The best was to print a report is to export the report as a PDF then print the PDF file. You will get a clean report minus the header and footer on the web page. You can print from the IE command File, Print, but you will get the header and foot graphics as part of the print job. Also, you are not assured of the right edge not being chopped off.

Exporting to Excel – preparing to do your own queries. You can export a created report as an Excel spreadsheet but it is not recommended as significant formatting is also exported. If you are going to run your own queries, the ideal way is to dowdload either the typical or all fire data for the year range, fire type and location that you desire.
Downloading any of the above will export data as a .csv file which you can open in Excel. When the fire report data is in Excel, you can save the file as an Excel spreadsheet (.xls) or some other format like .dbf. The data can then be opened in Microsoft Access or some other database program for querying.
