Ventura County is only one of several in California that has seen multiple wildfires over the past decade. With family members and friends living in NSW, we are monitoring the wildfire activity from afar, and pray for a swift end to all the burning.
At 12pm, 97 fires are burning across NSW with 43 yet to be contained. With high temperatures and strong winds forecast for today and tomorrow, visibility is yet again low across some firegrounds. Talk to your family and friends about what your plan will be if threatened by fire.
While my first personal computer was going to be an Apple II, I opted for the Commodore Amiga which was not built upon the 6502, but the newer 68000 CPU. The Apple MacIntosh also used the 68000, but the Amiga had a color display and was less expensive. Thanks Chuck Peddle!

Situational Awareness Is Not Enough
Gregory Bennett explains why situational awareness is great, but situational “understanding” is the key to fireground success.
Besides providing users a Latitude / Longitude readout and a Street Address readout function, our First Response eXplorer (FRX) and FireCast eXplorer (FCX) mobile apps will soon provide a What3Words readout of their current location, or a location of their choosing from the Map.

We are so very blessed to have such a great PSAP and Dispatch Center in our county.
Quick look of our dispatch center during the woolseyfire just a few short days after the Borderline Tragedy. At this time the center was still managing the HIll and woolseyfire along with the daily activities. ow.ly/trTi50qUjIw
What have we learned since the Thomas Fire? The CAPS Media series of videos help communicate the need to address shortcomings as an Emergency Response Community - "It's a Community effort, not just a Fire Department effort." ~ 6:05 into the video vimeo.com/281541795#t=31…

Another example of how much damage a wildfire can do. The Hill Canyon Fire burn scar is also visible in the image, and came within 1/2 mile of our home. Thanks to the proactive measures of the VCFD and others in the region, losses were kept to a minimum.
In addition to Landsat and Sentinel-2, ASTER onboard @NASA's Terra satellite is an incredible sensor. ASTER acquired a clear view of the #WoolseyFire burn scar yesterday. The burned area now approaches 97,000 acres: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/144277/…

Our friends over at Intterra included an interesting article from @FireRescue1 that is something worth sharing with others in the First Responder community.
“If we don’t understand what we can do with data and embrace that – make our departments smarter – we will be disrupted and become obsolete.” In 2017, firefighter Bart van Leeuwen advocated for better firefighter education to help fire departments... bit.ly/2PfTliG
