- Vegetation is a mix of planted pine scrub and herbaceous. A lot of soil disturbance.
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.
