Comments /notes on tonight’s mission and this interpretation: IR Techs were able to capture an additional fire approximately 1.75 miles north of the West Fork Fire. This fire is on the edge of a flight strip and so there is some distortion. I looked in WFDSS, and it seems as if this is Mount Tom Fire (2017-MTKNF-000218). If this is the Mount Tom fire, it was documented as contained at 2 acres on 9/1 @ 1943, but has grown to 78 acres. IR data shows intense heat north, south, and west of the fire’s origin at 48.56933 X -115.62732. The West Fork fire exhibited intense heat and significant growth in all directions, but primarily to the north/northeast. Several spot fires are east of the main fire perimeter; 2 are west and south of Forest Road 4614 and one is north of this road. The western flank of the fire has crossed Forest Road 600 in several places, but not Quartz Creek. There is intense heat in this area. Please let me know if there are any questions, comments or requests for additional IR products. Thank you.
