Fire Monitoring

I am kind of interested in observations where the wildfires are happening. Particularly the observations after the fire ravages the area. Including being interested in the human behavior or humans going to the area making observations. Such as mushroom hunters.

I will update this journal post with easy url's to search the areas where the fires are happening. I will do this using a combination of satellite imagery, my own kml files, and online posted files such as modis fire detection.

You can make your own or edit mine by manually changing the url link. Change the latitude, longitude and the radius. Or if it's a rectangle, change the corner lat long coordinates.

If you go to this website you can see smoke hovering over the entire state of Utah in what looks like a smoke hurricane.
You can also move the screen over to Russia and see a massive plume of smoke moving through the jetstream over the north pole.
In the upper right corner you can switch projection to Arctic and look down at the north pole. I don't know if that smoke over Russia is from us in the jet stream or from their huge fire in Siberia right now.

People should really rethink their stance on the reasons fires are happening in greater frequency. It's not all climate change and fire suppression.

Very good compiled information collection. Excellent work.
You can get an informed visual updates with some sites that we use in EM. I worked with CAL OES after the Paradise Fire and they are incredibly advanced with data.
Dixie Fire: https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7690/
This also gives you a more of current accurate data.

This is one of the live sites reporting damaged areas. You can cross reference this with your damaged area research. I love GIS

I updated the journal post to include the Caldor Fire.
The most recent post appears to be posted by a firefighter!
This year is the year of fires that never end. They just keep growing and growing.

That is awesome.

Ugg,
The Caldor fire is really making some ground today heading to the summit.
Burn area is huge so far. I think it goes even further to the top right in the smoke.

sigh,

I'm only 25 miles from the head of this now. Thankfully the wind direction is not headed straight at us like last week and that there is a giant body of water in the way :)
However, anything could happen in this extreme all time record dry and hot summer.

It's harder to do the rectangle bounding box now without including non burned areas because the fire is going north east.

Here is the fire. I'm missing the first week of data so it should be filled in with White/Yellow. The red and then some is just the past 24 hours.
Wind conditions will persist the same as yesterday maybe even more to the north east scarily.

Half the lake is currently evacuated.

I have the opportunity to drive highway 88 this coming Wed and thinking about doing a couple short hikes into the burned area...
