Roughly 281,000 acres of land was engulfed by the extent of the wildfire outbreak where typically the native chaparral are known to thrive despite chaparral schrubland have typically evolved to remain fire tolerant. This study was able to determine a variety in vegetation change, further tests involving supervised classification and collection of field data (ground trothing) would provide more information giving way to further suggestions as to what indicators contributed the most to California’s worst wild fire outbreak.
