I found this website to be very helpful in tracking the progression of the Bastrop/Smithville, Texas fire. I live outside of Smithville and the maps on this site were very helpful. Thank you.
THANKS FOR THE SINGLE MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND INFORMATIVE SITE FOUND TO DATE ON THE BASTROP FIRES. WHAT I WOULD APPRECIATE IS AN EXPLANATION OF THE VARIOUS COLORED CIRCLES, I AM ASSUMING CIRCLES WITH CROSS HATCHES ARE CONTAINED FIRES, CIRCLES WITH RED ARE ACTIVE FIRES UNCONTAINED AND ORANGE IS FIRES STILL WITH POTENTIAL TO FLAREUP.THOUGH PARTIALLY CONTAINED.
MR GABBERT YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB!
Thanks Norma.
On the maps which show heat detected by satellites, red is for active burning, yellow is heat detected within the previous 12 hours, and black represents heat detected within the previous 24 hours.
