Comments and notes on flight:
Tonight, we flew only the Northern half of the Creek fire perimeter. On are way to the Creek fire coming from the SQF_Complex we passed over a suspected spot we saw from the previous nights flight (20201031) in the south, and confirmed the spot was no longer visible.
The most active heat and perimeter growth is in the East and Northeast. The northern edge going to the west is also active and growing but not as much.
Heat Perimeter from 20201031 NIROPS products was used to generate tonight’s NIROPS products. For heat detection and perimeter updating we used 16 bit LWIR imagery only.
Saturday Evening Update: 380,002 acres and 70% containment.
