Comments and notes on flight:
New perimeter was used from the FTP. It includes many points and polygons outside the perimeter. Many of these polygons were very far from the burn and not investigated for heat. Heat was only detected where the Isolated, Scattered, and Intense heat polygons are denoted on the maps and in the shape files although the extra polygons are retained for reference.
The majority of growth is in Divisions I, J, M, and N off the Northwest, North, and Northeast sides. Two areas of heat were detected in a valley 1 mile north from the perimeter. There is considerable spotting off the northern borders The center valley continues to cool while some of the unburned areas are now hot near Huntington Lake in Div R.
Sunday Evening Update: 201,908 acres and 10% containment, with 2,503 total fire personnel.
