I went back to the data to check it out.<br /><br />The pinpointed (in the map) fire's coordinates are 34.093 -111.984 recorded 6/28/2005 with an FRP of 13736.6 (100% confidence interval). Other close-in-intensity fires were logged nearby at the same date. Here's the Wiki page for the Cave Creek Fire. It killed the largest known saguaro catus, at 46 feet tall. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_Creek_Complex_fire <br /><br />The second most intense fire in the dataset comes from June 25 of this year, just west of Harrison, MT.<br /><br />-John Nelsonjohn.nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293746895235613547noreply@blogger.com
