Figure 2

Tripod 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. The MODIS burned area product assumed that the fire was a snow field and therefore produced a fire size of 0.
