AJ, H2O… we’ve got two at the CDF Museum that could use a little tune up and maintenance if you’re interested… when you’re ready.

Would love to take my son and nephew over this winter and put in a little elbow grease. They need some community service hours.

I wonder if they will pull firefighters into some of the maintenance of the new cameras and infrastructure? Winterizing lookouts on the Eagle Lake District of the Lassen NF was one of the highlights of working for the USFS as a youngster.

That’d be great. One of my biggest fears with the Covid is that it will make it hard for old-timers and youngsters to have road time together. So many of us learned this business in the passenger seat of a pickup truck.

Looks like a new set of cams popped up on Mohrhardt Ridge (North Bay) recently.
Slowly filling the gaps. Hoping that more are in the works for farther north in Mendo.
Would truly appreciate a link to any reference for planned future installations.
Cheers.

Does anyone know where I can find information about cameras going up in Mendocino county. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
Publish or Perish ajohansson. Thanks for sharing your thesis, once the review committee is done.

From the AlertWildfire website…
“300 new cameras were installed in the year following the Camp Fire (2018) in California alone, with another 300 new cameras in California slated for the 2020 fire season, with many other cameras scheduled for Nevada, Oregon and Idaho.”
“The data from these confederated networks are seamlessly incorporated into NSL’s back-end acquisition systems and presented on our Amazon Web Services website in a straightforward manner. To firefighters and first responders, it means “more cameras, more quickly”, which equals better decision making capabilities. Now dozens and dozens of cameras can be installed in a single month as the goal of 1000 cameras in California by 2022; efforts to scale up in other states are underway.”

@bcpaulus Ask and you shall receive. It was a fun project. I cant wait to see where this technology goes with aerial imagery, lidar and SAR from space for initial damage inspections. Nothing will replace traditional ground truthed data as it collects so many important attributes for analysis but for those initial damage numbers we have some cool tech out there right now that can get us some pretty accurate numbers.

Anyone else having issues with alertwildfire site reloading frequently this morning?
Yes but seems to be doing better now.
The site is getting a lot more traffic with all that has been happening and most likely was why it was slow this morning.
