Looks like Walbridge merged with Stewart and Spanish with Hennessey - as expected.
Remarkable that Hennessey footprint.

Also this note was included with IR in the read me attachment
"Sorry about the delay… That was a Huge change in acreage and took me all night… … Two point to notice… there was not enough heat in the areas of extimated heat to get an accurate perimeter. I suggest daytime intel to fix the perimeter if possible. Second point I was only able to create the perimeters, isolated heat outside of the perimeter a map and IR log. "

“Extimated” - that’s a new one for me.

Kudos to the folks who worked all night to get these massive changes for so many perimeters updated - Lots of people in the threat zone nervously awaiting to see fire progress. I’ll forgive the occasional typo, somebody give these folks a fresh cup of coffee and a donut!
