Size disagreement

[edit]

Is sparks lake 95,980 ha in size, or the other ones that say it's about 93,000 ha, or about 89,000 ha(the most recent size edited)? I'd Like an agreement on which source is correct (or the most correct). The arcGIS dashboard says that the sparks lake fire is 95,980 ha.

this is a nearby reliable secondary source from nearby:
https://www.kamloopsbcnow.com/watercooler/news/news/Wildfire/New_evacuation_orders_issued_as_Sparks_Lake_wildfire_remains_out_of_control/ :and its most recent update says 89626. The BCWildfire dashboard is more likely to be accurate for a given fire at a given time, but the most recent size I can find is 89,627 and the page for this fire has been archived out of Active Fires. Calling the website difficult to navigate is an understatement. Since these numbers are very close and B.C. Wildfire would be a primary sources, I would suggest using KamloopsNow above. The discrepancy could be a rounding error Elinruby (talk) 14:15, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Uh?

Then let's change it (?) Fishbowl.16 (talk) 22:31, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
