The fire started on by lightning and was classified as a 'Wildland Fire' to be managed for resource benefits. The coordinates for this dataset were collected using a . Purpose: To show the location of the at . The data was collected to support planning and fire management efforts while the fire was ongoing. The intended use of all data in the park's GIS library is to support diverse park activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation.

The attributes were verified daily upon creation. Logical_Consistency_Report: There are no duplicate features present. Polygon features begin and end at the same point. . Completeness_Report: This dataset is considered to be 100% complete for the fire. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Most Garmin GPS receivers report a horizontal accuracy of 15 meters or better, 95% of the time when selective availability (SA) is set to zero. No tests were done to confirm this. GPS data collected while flying above the fire perimeter is dependent on the topography, the weather conditions during the flight and the skill of the pilot. These data were not differentially corrected.

Process_Step: Process_Description: GPS data was collected using a while flying above the perimeter of the fire. Unburned areas within the perimeter were not collected. Data was not post-processed due to error introduced during the process of data collection (flight). (That level of precision is not necessary for the accurateness of the data.) Data was downloaded to the computer using and exported to the GIS software in shapefile format. Data was attributed using the NPS Fire Boundary Editing and Attributing Toolkit (Firepak) ArcView Extension.

UNITID is a text field that describes the location of the fire such as the park name or 4 letter park code. FIRENAME and FIRENUM are text fields containing the name of the fire and the fire number as assigned to the incident. DATE is a text field in the format and TIME is 24 hour military time . These fields represent the time that the fire perimeter was collected for that date. METHOD is a text field representing how the data was collected. Values are 'GPS' or 'Digitized' as a choice in the Firepak extension. SOURCE is a text field that represents the source of the perimeter. If the METHOD of collection is 'GPS', SOURCE will be the type of GPS unit used to collect the data. If the METHOD is 'Digitized', the SOURCE will be the data source the perimeter is drawn on or derived from. Values are chosen from pull down menus in the Firepak extension. TRAVEL is a text field representing the method of travel for GPS Data collection. Valid values are 'Helicopter', 'Fixed Wing', 'ATV', 'Foot', 'Other' as chosen from Firepak. DIFFERENTL is a text field that is only populated if the SOURCE is 'GPS'. Valid values are 'None', 'WAAS', 'CORS' or 'Post Processing'. MAPSCALE is a text field that is only populated when the METHOD is 'Digitized'. This represents the scale of the map that the perimeter was drawn on or scale of the imagery that it was derived from. CONTACT, PHONE, EMAIL are text field representing the name of the person who collected the data and their contact information. PROJECTION is a text field representing the projection of the data. If the projection is 'UTM', the field will include the Zone. UNITS is a text field describing the coordinate units that describe the theme's spatial information. The UNITS will vary according to the projection. Values available through the Firepak extension are; 'Decimal Degrees', Meters', 'Feet' or 'Other'. DATUM is a text field describing the datum used for the PROJECTION of the data. Values available are; 'WGS84', 'NAD83', 'NAD27' or 'Other'. COMMENTS is a text field that is any additional information regarding the data as noted by the CONTACT. ACRES is the area of the polygon in acres and is generated by Firepak as a 3 decimal number field once attributing is completed. PERIM_MILES is the length of the perimeter of the polygon in miles and is generated by Firepak as a 3 decimal number field once attributing is completed.
