- Note on the perimeter
- Perimeter for this fire was delineated using 5038034000717610 image to separate out Rx part 1 (this fire) from Rx part 2 which is connected to this fire -- hence the HIGH burn areas in the N. Area of this fire. Since the thumbs for this fire are created
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.
