Comments and notes on flight:
Tonight, we flew the full Northern half of the fire. The Southern half was flown following the southern half of the perimeter.
In the South several small isolated heat spots were identified, but no major heat. One spot on the center/southeastern penninsula, inside western edge, looked like a tiny heat across the line: 37° 6.488'N -119° 12.811'W
In the North half all sides are active to varying degrees. The most active heat and perimeter growth is in the northeast. The northern edge going to the West is also active and growing but not as much.
Today we used the heat perimeter from last nights data products. For heat detection and perimeter updating we used 16-bit LWIR imagery only .
Friday Evening Update: 379,571 acres and 70% containment.
