https://roboost.github.io/index.html

Description

The index.html file displays a web map of the 2018 Wildfire Perimeters in British Columbia, Canada. This demonstration shows how to generate a JSON file from the BC Geographic Warehouse (BCGW) via a Web Feature Service (WFS). The json file was loaded to github by geojson.io and the html file was written by Rob Oostlander to reference the json file as a javascript file.
