- Note on the perimeter
- Fire perimeter modified using Landsat Image Service. Image IDs: LT05_L2SP_066014_19940609_20200913_02_T1 and LT05_L2SP_067014_19920728_20200914_02_T1.
The three sizes are three measurements: the size the agency reported when the fire was out, the burned area MTBS drew from satellite imagery before and after, and the GIS area inside the final perimeter, unburned islands included. They rarely agree exactly.
