Fire
Imagery
These color-coded images depict apparent ground surface temperatures
in Celsius.
The background image is a portion of a high-resolution multi-band
mosaic assembled from data collected on 9 September 2003 (pre-fire).
Do not depend
on these images for accurate fireline locations. Use the map backgrounds
as a general location guide, and look for recognizable terrain
features or landmarks on the imagery itself for relative positioning
of hotspots. Bodies of water, street grids, open fields, highways,
ridgelines and stream courses show up well in this imagery.
