Interactive #GIS map for #CampCreekFire SE of #Portland Oregon
Infrared flight last night 10:19pm. IR analyst determined 1,226 acres burned.
Red shading = intense heat.

This watershed is #Portland water supply.

Interactive #GIS map for #CampCreekFire SE of #Portland Oregon and near that town’s water supply.

Dark red symbols are *heat* detections by MODIS and VIIRS satellites within prior 6 hours. This data is not real time, locations are approximate and sometimes ‘false positive”. Two links in upper left corner have more info.

@ai6yr Speaking of exit plans, #KingCounty (county seat Seattle) owns various locked gates in the wildland urban interface that could be opened to provide evacuation routes. Currently none of those routes will show up on any evac map.

I have been beating this drum with the county. Now due to the Maui fire and recent fire near Spokane the county has agreed to start looking at this issue. Actual results yet to follow.

Check out this video of a #KMax doing bucket work out of #DiabloLake on the #SourdoughFire, North Cascades NP. These things are amazing.

#Wildfire #wildlandfire

We had to use a boat on Ross lake on the #SourdoughFire to do comms checks in a couple of critical areas. Crews were spiked out on an island and were working around the north side of the fire. We needed to confirm that our command repeater covered those areas, hence the boat ride. It all checked out.

August 3 is the day the #SourdoughFire really began to take off. These pictures show the power house below Diablo dam and a drop point and spike camp that we had to move as the fire backed down into Diablo.

#Wildfire #wildlandfire

On the morning of August 2, things really began to heat up on the #SourdoughFire. These pictures from Diablo show how the fire was backing down towards the houses and dam infrastructure. This series of dams produces a large percentage of the power for the Seattle Metro area. Lots of value at risk.

#Wildfire #wildlandfire

I'm back from the #SourdoughFire in North Cascades National Park in Washington. It was a great assignment, though challenging to get the comms system up and running. Everything was fly-in only which was cool, but added a layer of work.

I'll share more pics later, but here is a start

#Wildfire #wildlandfire

Best job on the fire

Unexpected reminder of the fire that nearly took my home and which likely took several years off of my life. Working 16 hours a day on the fire that threatens your home while also being evacuated in a tiny hotel room w/3 kids is not an experience I'd wish on my enemies.

A lookback at the 2013 Mount Charleston fire, 10 years later https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-las-vegas/looking-back-on-one-of-mount-charlestons-largest-fires-10-years-later-2802771/
>The Carpenter 1 fire at Mount Charleston in 2013 burned nearly 28,000 acres. Now, the land is slowly recovering.

Is it too much to ask for weather conditions in Alberta or Iraq or Afghanistan? Or wherever you find your children? #Alberta #USA #wildlandfire #iraq #afghanistan #weather

I'm spending some time lately wearing this old friend, the 20.5 kg weight vest, in preparation for next week's pack test. It's the last thing to do for the annual #firefighter recertification.

Looking for more #wildlandfire tracking accounts… particularly if anyone knows of a NWS Prediction Center bot that is more up to date, the one I found is a week behind. Trying to gauge when I’m gonna be going out into the South West this year… last year I was out April 13th for Hermits Peak.

"The sites targeted for spending in 2023 cover much of Southern California, home to 25 million people; the Klamath River Basin on the Oregon-California border; San Carlos Apache Reservation lands in Arizona; and the Wasatch area of northern Utah, a tourist draw with seven ski resorts. Other sites are in Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, Washington state, Colorado, New Mexico and Montana."
