- Note on the perimeter
- The WMR Fire staff was notified of a wildfire burning in Sally Bull Hallow at Ozark Plateau NWR by the Cherokee nation BIA. htey were unsure how much of the refuge was involved but were confident that at least part of the land was likely involved. Th
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.
