Comments /notes on tonight’s mission and this interpretation: I began with a shapefile from the prior day’s IR for the Sapphire Complex. The Little Hogback has a significant amount of intense heat along the Southeast corner of the fire. There is a large unburned island along Hogback River east of the dip site. There is significant heat alongside the eastern edge of the island. Slide Rock shows only a few locations of isolated heat along the north and south edge. Goat Creek has a small amount of intense heat along northwestern edge of Golden Mountain (east side of fire). This was an unburned island, looks like a firing operation near H-6. Acreages for each fire are the following: Slide Rock – 875 Acres Goat Creek – 8,322 Acres Little Hogback – 29,024 The imagery was mostly clear, some cloud cover present. Please let me know if there are any questions, comments or requests for additional IR products. Thank you.
