- Process_Description:
-
The FIREDIST coverage was created through heads-up digitizing on-screen with digital parcel coverage as a backround. Many of the boundaries were copied from the WCZONECP covearge. Changes were made to this coverage were all made using the Arc/Edit environment, with parcels as a backround coverage.
