Done yet?

I think I've done my last BARC and active fire request of the year. I got an email from the Okanogan-Wenatchee NF yesterday regarding the Tin Pan Fire. It started as a Wildland Fire Use fire that was let burn for a month or so. They finally began doing some suppression on the fella after it blew up a little (final size was ~9,200 acres). A few weeks after it was contained, the email came in saying they decided to do an assessment.

So, some numbers that probably reflect the whole year:

• Fires supported: 115
• Acres mapped: 2,470,856
• $ Spent on imagery: $93,715
• # satellite images used: 157
• # of BARC layers created: 145

I only mapped 115 fires, but I had to do a number of them mulitple times. Our previous high for fires supported was 2002 when we did 72. Busy busy year. Other useless information:

• Average fire size I supported: ~21,000 acres
• # of fires greater than 100,000 acres: 7
• Largest fire supported: Derby (199,500 acres)
• Smallest fire supported: Grease (366 acres)
• Fire mapped the most: Tripod (4 iterations)
• First fire of the year supported: Sierra (ignition February 10)

There are two fires still uncontained in Northern California that will probably not get additional BARC products (each has been done already more than once) due to oncoming weather.
