#DragonBravoFire at north rim of the #GrandCanyon, Arizona. This is at the end of state highway 67.
In the screenshot I posted you can see that a burnout operation has happened at the north edge of the fire. That is the narrow pink area that is part of the perimeter which defines the area that has burned.
The symbols on the map are heat detections from MODIS and VIIRS satellites. This data is *not* real time and locations are approximate. Sometimes this data is ‘false positive'.
This data updates several times during the day. To read more about this kind of data, open the map and click "Map tips" in the upper left corner.
