Comments and notes on flight:
Tonight, we flew only the Northern half of the Creek fire perimeter and collected LWIR, NIR and RGB imagery. Raw Imagery is being made accessible over a share drive. Heat Perimeter from 20201103 NIROPS products was used to generate tonight’s NIROPS products. For heat detection and perimeter updating we used 16 bit LWIR imagery only.
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. I closed 2 coves, all on the North East side. Today’s perimeter growth value is larger than yesterdays.
Tuesday Evening Update: 378,503 acres and 70% containment.
