Comments and notes on flight:
Tonight, we flew only the Northern half of the Creek fire perimeter and collected LWIR imagery. Heat Perimeter from 20201105 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 smaller than yesterdays.
Thursday Evening Update: 379,335 acres and 70% containment.
