There are lots of great posts and kml's here on this coverage of the Southern California Fires. Though I live in Southern California, we were on a trip to Northern California during the past two weeks. The damage is even worse than I thought. My parents lived in Rancho Bernardo, one of the hardest hit areas, during the last years of their lives. Looking at maps and overlays it is amazing and tragic to see how much was lost. The San Diego Union-Tribune has many galleries of the fires' progress.

" Witch Creek Poomacha Burn area"

[Re: Hill]

Using the GeoMac Wildfire Information mapping software ( http://geomac.usgs.gov/viewer/viewer.htm ) I was able to take a screen shot of the Witch Creek and Poomacha burn areas, I'm sure these are just estimations however it gives you a good idea of just how large this fire was. I only wish I could get a higher resolution image for the overlay.

hello,
we are providing mobile mapping support on the poochama and rice fires, and have put together this collection of mostly final fire perimeters. this data was created by the teams managing the fires. they used GPS, infrared flights, UAVs, and topo maps to create this data. this data was downloaded from the USGS geomac site, and shows up as red polygons..

also, we added fire perimeters from the 2003 fires - these show up in blue.
