Explainer for rapid growth of 2018 Camp Fire in northern California. No paywall.10km =~ 6.2 miles!!!!
"Abstract Extreme fire spread during the 2018 Camp Fire in northern California was driven by organized long‐range spotting tightly coupled to plume dynamics. Doppler radar and satellite observations reveal distinct regions of ember lofting and downwind fallout within the convective column, forming direct pathways for firebrand transport several (up to 10) kilometers ahead of the main fire front. These firebrands ignited dense clusters of new fires that merged into rapidly advancing lobes, producing abrupt surges in fire growth that exceeded expectations based on surface wind and fuel conditions alone."

Remnant moisture from decaying East Pacific Tropical Storm #Juliette, which previously looked like it would just miss CA to southeast, will now likely bring some showers to far SoCal (likely San Diego County only!) over the next 48 hours! #CAwx #CAfire [1/4]

There is now some MODIS/VIIRS heat detection data for the #MountainFire, Ventura County, CA. However, the fire is moving fast and the fire front has moved *much* further SW'ly than that satellite data.
So right now there is no reason to post a MODIS/VIIRS map and doing so might mislead people as to the fire's location and danger people in that area might be in.

Daniel Swain: "#BridgeFire has reached western portion of #Wrightwood. Radar imagery is unfortunately suggestive of a high-intensity fire as the fire moves into town (persistent high reflectivity). Situation is very serious for anyone remaining in town or along Angeles Crest Hwy. #CAwx #CAfire"

Very serious wildfire situation unfolding in mountains of Southern California at this hour. Most emergent situation is in/near #Wrightwood, toward which #BridgeFire has made a massive run this PM and is now imminently threatening town. Leave now; evacs ordered! #CAfire #CAwx [1/4]

North side of Lake McClure Mariposa County CA.Symbols you see when the map opens are heat detection by the MODIS and VIIRS satellites. This data is not real time and locations are only approximate. Sometimes this data can be 'false positive'. For more info, see 2 links upper left corner of the map.
Never rely on any map or anything else you see online to ignore an order to evacuate. The fire officials have information that you do not.

Tuesday morning July 2
There was a mapping flight over the #BasinFire very early Monday morning. At that time the fire size was 13,144 acres.The dark red symbols on the map are MODIS/VIIRS satellite heat detections within the prior 6 hours. #CAfire #CAwx #Wildfire

Monday morning July 1
There was an infrared flight over the #BasinFire last night. Acres based on that flight are 12,631.
#CAfire #CAwx #Wildfire -
There was an infrared (IR) flight last night over the #BasinFire. The IR analyst determined 11,047 acres have burned and the perimeter. See red/black line on the map.
#CAfire #CAwx #Wildfire -
#BasinFire is expanding on 2 sides. This is in the Sierra National Forest east of Fresno, CA.
I checked the NIFC server but there is no data for any infrared flight last night. Therefore at the time of my post the perimeter shown is from around mid-day yesterday.
#CAfire #CAwx #Wildfire -
The latest perimeter for the #BasinFire is now on an ArcGIS server. If I am reading the data correctly this perimeter was mapped as of 1:47pm today. Acres are 7,472.
Dark red symbols are MODIS/VIIRS satellite heat detections within prior 6 hours of when you open the map.

#BasinFire is burning along the Kings River in the Sierra National Forest east of Fresno, CA.

The map shows the fires east of Fresno California. Zoom in for detail.
The #FlashFire and #BoltFire will likely merge.
The #BasinFire is burning along the Kings River in Sierra National Forest. This fire was mapped at 2,636 acres as of 10:30pm yesterday.
The fire in the SE part of the screenshot is a controlled burn.

Here is a zoomed out look at the fires east of Fresno.
#FlashFire
#BoltFire
#HogFireAnyone have names for the fires that are to the east of the three listed above? Those fires are not currently on the Inciweb map.

These fires are east of Fresno CA and were mapped around 2am this morning.
#FlashFire 2,180 acres
#BoltFire 4,556 acresA bit to the east (you can drag the map) there is also a significant fire near Wilsonia and the visitor’s center for Kings Canyon National Park.
Map can show lots of #GIS layers. For help see 2 links upper left corner.

CW: Wildfire?
Huh. Driving slow bc traffuck sb on I5 into Sacramento, looking west towards the Bay just south of the curve in the road after the airport, and saw this.
Not the right placement for the fire near Tracy I dont think, so I think uh. New start? Doesn't look right for a building fire. Have seen at least three fire vehicles go howling up NB. #fire #wildfire #cawildfire #cafire @ai6yr (location when pic taken approx just after I5 & 99 join thru Sacramento.)

The #LosPadres NF website crashed on me and isn't coming back up, so I had to go to their social media to confirm that Yes, they are planning 3 prescribed burns today near Wheeler Gorge, Figueroa Mountain, and Memorial Park
Assuming they're actually successful at getting anything to burn, smoke will likely be visible from Ojai and surrounding #VenturaCounty regions.

July 15 6pm PDT. Interactive #GIS map.
Dark red symbols are latest MODIS/VIIRS satellite *heat* detection for #RabbitFire Riverside County, CA.Red marker is general location of #GavilanFire. Too new to show up in the MODIS/VIIRS data.
Green symbol (clickable) near map center has some near real time weather data.
