[Cdt-l] Cdt-l Digest, Vol 57, Issue 34

Inciweb has the best public information, here are a couple other useful
links.

http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/lg_fire2.php
The forest service Large Fire Page, provides a little more spatial location
of fires. A large fire is classified as 300 acres or larger in timber and
2000 acres and larger for grassland (and sage). IMT stands for Incident
Management Team, split up by Type 1 and Type 2 incidents. A Type 1 is more
complex, larger incidents then a Type 2.

The SIT report is updated daily and is a general overview of resources
assigned to large fires. It's updated daily and probably has the most
accurate up to date information. It's more directed at fire personal, so
there is some jargon used. A * is used to identify new fires, and "ctn"
stands for Containment. They are also ranked in order of priority.

Hope this is useful.
