- Note on the perimeter
- Perimeter was flown by SITL beginning at 1100 and ending at 1300. He used a Garmin Maps60CX.
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.
