From the same data source, now a set of maps for the Rice Canyon Fire. A reminder this is thermal / infra-red imaging, so we are seeing “heat” here. IR at 20:00 Tuesday Oct 23 Looking East / North East IR at 20:00 Tuesday Oct 23 Looking West / South West Again this data set […]
I have discovered a source of Infra-Red data to be used in mapping. The data is high quality and geo-registered which is very good news for accuracy. The bad news is it is a day old. However I wanted to show you what Poomacha looked like at 20:00 Tuesday Oct 23 Looking East / North […]
I have some data on the Poomacha fire burning near Mount Palomar in northeastern San Diego County. A map generated by SDSU / Grossmont was used together with Google Earth and Google Maps to produce this representation of my best guess of what has been burning. Not everything within the red lines is on fire […]
Very briefly I would like to confirm that my early prediction and hope has come to pass. As I was outside talking to my neighbors on how we had likely dodged a bullet, the moist air from the ocean began to blow across Escondido. What this means is humidity levels are on the way up, […]

Since BruceH has been doing all the mapping and mashups here, I have no problem posting the following kind words from one of our readers, since they all go to BruceH’s work: Your valiant efforts at ‘mashing’ fire info into concise statements and useful maps is greatly appreciated! I have a retired Marine son in […]
I would like to recognize another blogger who is working hard to cut through the lack of information and fog surrounding our multiple fires in San Diego County. The Blog is http://www.barboni.org/ and an example of the kind of work being done is shown below. Good stuff!
I’ve heard from my good friends Jerry & Debbie Hewett, who moved up to Temecula long before it was cool to do so. The break in the Santa Ana winds has actually created problems for them: The fires are on the other side of the hills and the wind is currently calm, with the offshore […]
Some information collected from multiple sources on status up in Fallbrook, Winterwarm and Bonsall. KUSI news is reporting that there is increased air tanker activity over Fallbrook this morning and additional ground crews with bulldozers working the Rice Canyon Fire. The southern boundary of the fire is reported to have stopped at Gird Road and […]
The Harris Fire is now 73,000 acres, suppression costs are at $2.5 million. There are 759 firefighters assigned. The fire was held at the edge of Chula Vista and Spring Valley. The returning onshore flow has moved the fire to the northeast threatening structures along Highway 94 from Jamul to the east and Jamacha to […]
