I will say that every single article or news story about #wildfires needs to include a map, calling out where the fires are, their names, and current sizes.

Especially in an area like ours right now, where we have a dozen burning in at least 3 states, all impacting us and each other.

#SouthCarolina wildfires.
Table Rock Complex fire has burned 8,680 acres.
Persimmon Ridge fire has burned 1,992 acres

When the map opens it displays the historical USGS topo maps. These are seamless scans of the old paper maps USGS stopped publishing years ago.

Wildfires in South Carolina.

Interactive GIS wildfire map showing heat detections by the MODIS and VIIRS satellites. This data is not real time and locations are only approximate. Sometimes this data is ‘false positive’.

When the map opens it shows the Table Rock Complex fire and Persimmon Ridge fire. These are in Pickens County and Greenville County, S.C.

To get the most benefit from the map see 2 links in upper left corner.
