Figure 2From: Intercomparison of Fire Size, Fuel Loading, Fuel Consumption, and Smoke Emissions Estimates on the 2006 Tripod Fire, Washington, USATripod Fire Complex size and perimeter for each of the five fire reporting systems compared. The ICS-209 reports do not have fire perimeters associated with them; they only report fire size. Therefore, the fire area is represented by a circle, centered on the fire ignition point, that reflects the fire size reported by the ICS-209.
