- Note on the perimeter
- Fire was originally incorrectly mapped with a 2005 scene. There was a fire perimeter in this scene and the XY position has been added to found fires shapefile.
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.
