Comments /notes on tonight’s mission and this interpretation: *The incident is shifting to every other night IR for the Goat Creek and Slide Rock fire effective today (9/2/2017) @ 1545. No IR for those fires tonight. Note that there seems to be some issue with editing, specifically reshaping (all other editing tasks work fine), shapefiles that originate from the Incident gdb. I suspect that it has something to do with the ArcMap’s WGS1984 to NAD83UTM11 conversation because if you change the dataframe to Nad83TransverseMercator, editing problems no longer exist. Big big thanks to Bob Brantlinger for figuring this out. He has similar issue with Incident shapefiles in the webmercator projection. I began with yesterday’s IR perimeter for Little Hogback per instructions from the Incident GISS. This file had a total acreage starting of 31,452. After interpretation, the acreage increased to 32,699. This fire continues to grow, primarily along the southern perimeter adjacent to Highway 102. There is intense heat in this area as well, making the detection of isolated heat sources outside of the perimeter challenging. There is another area of significant growth and intense heat along the western flank, north of Hogback Ridge. There is scattered heat throughout most of the perimeter and adjacent to all flanks except the eastern. Interior islands continue to consume. Please let me know if there are any questions, comments or requests for additional IR products. Thank you.
