Anyone have contact with the GIS on this team? I am trying to support an OES Strike Team with ATAK data packages and notice some of the maps are not exported as georeferenced pdfs. Any lead would be great. You can PM me.

The Bootleg and Log fires are seeing an increase in fire behavior this afternoon as winds increase. Visible satellite as well as radar are picking up on pyrocumulus clouds developing. The fire temperature from GOES-West satellite also depicts the increase in activity and fire behavior. This is indicative of the orange glow on the active flanks of the fire in tgrr red third image. The north and northeast flanks appears to be the most active. The team currently assigned to the fire indicates there is potential for the Bootleg and Log fires to merge today. Fire crews have pulled back from the main fire but continue to scout new containment line opportunities to the north and east. Image 4 shows estimated cloud tops of the pyrocumulus clouds at around 22-29k feet.
