California Wildfire Maps

Ryan Miller writes, “I was looking to find a map showing where the Los Angeles wildfire was, and this map viewer was very helpful. It’s easy to use, and it has a few convenient layers to use.” The server is understandably getting creamed; your best bet is the direct link to the Topanga area, which is more basic — it just shows the fire perimeter. The main map uses a series of layers in the usual web-based GIS user-unfriendly (very detailed, but a challenge to use) idiom, and is quite slow at the moment. Kathryn Cramer points to a similar site with a similar interface: Fire Planning and Mapping Tools from the California Fire Alliance.
