Fires of Google Earth **Collection**

This collection is dedicated to finding any types of fires in Google Earth. I've started the collection off, with a few nice ones I found just today on the boards. I'm sure that many of you know where some fires are, and if someone else posted them first, I'd be happy to see a link so I can add them to the collection.

Enjoy!

==========


The collection is broken down like this:
North America
  • Building Fires
  • Forest/Grassland Fires
  • Other
    South America
  • Building Fires
  • Forest/Grassland Fires
  • Other
    Europe
  • Building Fires
  • Forest/Grassland Fires
  • Other
    Africa
  • Building Fires
  • Forest/Grassland Fires
  • Other
    Asia
  • Building Fires

    Hello AmericanXplorer13

    A nice idea and very well done. I like the picture with the forest fire and the GE screenshots you made. It gives the right ambiance to the post. I tried to make a similiar picture with sundials but it did not take the same effect.

    The file contains some very cool placemarks I have never seen before, for example the burning house in Wiesbaden. Thanks.

    Here is a burning barn:

    Greetings Felippo

    Just found one in northern Australia - coordinates are: 13deg 3'59 S / 142deg45' E
    Not hi-res, but obviously a BIG fire at 1.5 miles across!

    I've added a few new fires...

    Current Stats:
    My collection just previously had 16 posts in 24 folders. (Funny how that works out!)

    I have just added a total of 593 new fires bringing the total count to 609.

    All of these new fires are from sasroodkapje's post of African fires.

    Thanks everyone for all the support!
