CAIIMT 15 posted a great map this morning of the tactical history of the Smith River Complex area. It is an example of how far we’ve come in saving and using mapping from past fires (something that has always been harder to do than it might seem).

That’s an awesome map. The current revisions of symbology concocted by NIFC are working well. Many other aspects of Incident GISS seem to be suffering from Fed top-down, heavy handedness, but that’s just my personal opinion. I cut my teeth on FIMT Tools so I’m a dinosaur. Jim Kniss is still around, but I haven’t seen him for a while.

What’s going on with NIROPS? We’ve only had 2 or 3 good perimeters for the NW California fires in past 7 days, and I’m getting calls from folks from fires outside California who are also getting UTF Mechanical on their flights. Is the program all contract planes now, or is NIROPS still operating their own 2 planes?
