IRIN Comments on imagery:
Imagery generally good, though seemed grainy (AGL ??).
Crew did great job adjusting box "on-the-fly", catching head (north end) of fire running outside original box. Geo-rectification seemed pretty close, strip 3 appeared to be about 100 feet off (city streets for reference)  	Weather at time of flight:
clear, hot, dry

	Flight Objective:
 map heat perimeter and spots	
Date and Time Imagery Received by Interpreter:
08/30/2009   0053	Type of media for final product: shapefiles of perimeter , intense heat, spots outside heat perimeter

Comments /notes on tonight’s mission and this interpretation:  
Identified 1 extremely isolated heat source approx. 5.5 miles SW of the Station Fire.  It was on north end of Burbank, appears from Google Earth to be heat from water pump station (?).    Informed GISS of it at 0455 PDT.  
  
Large area of what appears to be "bloom" on west side of fire in Tujunga Canyon.   Left most of it out of the Heat Perimeter, but created shapefile for "bloom" and delivered with others.   One other area of "bloom" emitting from intense heat at the Clear Creek School Camp, just west of Angeles Forest Highway.   

Most of the intense heat was in this area, Tujunga Canyon and then the north head of the fire.   Other intense heat spread around various parts of the perimeter in narrow bands.    

A large area around the Angeles Forest Station on Hwy 2 showned no isolated heat or other identifiable heat.    I did not include this area in my interpeted heat perimeter, but suspect that is the area around the fire origin and cooled off.    The GISS indicated that their incident perimeter of 8/29 was mostly rough connect-the-dots estimates due to extreme fire behaviour and no aircraft flights.  Therefore, I did not use it as a basis for my IR heat perimeter.  I will base tomorrow's heat perimeter on the incident perimeter posted this evening.

Received 3 strips each of the full Phoenix data package (color,ortho,fire,uncorrected,raw heat) - good job thanks

Will contact SITL to expand scan box to the north.    Expecting another day of  extreme fire behavior, and significant growth.
