Comments and notes on flight:
Tonight, we flew only the Northern half of the Creek fire perimeter. Heat Perimeter from 20201102 NIROPS products was used to generate tonight’s NIROPS products. For heat detection and perimeter updating we used 16 bit LWIR imagery only.
Slight increase in overall heat tonight, which is reflected by a little more growth compared to yesterday.
Monday Evening Update: 377,693 acres and 70% containment.
