How severely it burned
Burn severity inside the final perimeter, classified from Landsat images taken before and after the fire.
| Severity | Share | Acres |
|---|---|---|
| Highmost vegetation consumed, soils altered | 3.8% | 4,979 |
| Moderatemixed: many trees killed, some survive | 39% | 51,203 |
| Lowsurface fire, most trees survive | 37% | 48,225 |
| Unburned to lowislands inside the perimeter, little change | 16% | 21,265 |
| Not mappedcloud, shadow or water in the satellite images | 3.4% | 4,371 |
4% of the area inside the perimeter burned at high severity, about 4,979 acres; 43% burned at moderate or high severity.
Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (U.S. Geological Survey and USDA Forest Service). Classes come from the change in a Landsat burn index (dNBR) between images before and after the fire; acres are each class’s share of the fire’s mapped area.
