Comments /notes on tonight’s mission and this interpretation: I began with yesterday’s geodatabase provided by the incident 2017_SapphireComplex_MTLNF001463.gdb. This file had a total acreage starting of 39,440. After interpretation, the acreage increased to 39,825. No perimeter growth was observed on Slide Rock or Goat Creek. Goat Creek still has some significant heat and isolated heat points along the fire edge. Slide Rock has a very small pocket of scattered heat on the western side of the fire and multiple isolated heat points. Little Hogback continues to grow and has small pockets of intense heat primarily along the north and southern edges. The eastern half of the fire area continues to exhibit scattered heat throughout. Tonight the very southern part of the fire was cut off and there was heat evident at the cutoff line. Tomorrow the box needs to be expanded south a bit to make sure that southern edge is captured. Acreages for each fire are the following: Slide Rock – 901 Acres Goat Creek – 8,305 Acres Little Hogback – 30,619 Acres Please let me know if there are any questions, comments or requests for additional IR products. Thank you.
