Comments and notes on flight:
Started interpretation utilizing Fire perimeter updates found in ArcGIS Online.
Creek Fire perimeter increase was approximately 15 acres. The perimeter increase is along the eastern/ northeastern edges of the fire (creeping fire). The high concentrations of isolated heat sources were mapped as scattered heat to avoid isolated heat sources cluttering most of the map area (and save time). There is a total of 1,064 isolated heat sources: 977 scattered throughout the interior of the fire and 87 heat sources found outside the fire perimeter. The majority of the isolated heat sources found outside of the perimeter are associated with the perimeter increase found on the eastern/ northeastern edges. All isolated heat sources where given X/Y coordinates, so Operations may download into GPS and navigate to these areas. Please call Jorge at the number above, if you have questions or feedback.
Thursday Evening Update: 379,802 acres and 70% containment.
