WITCH AND POOMACHA FIRES

Maps are presented for the fires in San Diego County.

These maps depict Sanborn's Wildfire Risk Information Product data overlaid with the most recent fire perimeters for current large fires burning in California. Sanborn conducted a wildfire risk assessment in 2006 for the entire state of California. The results from this assessment provide detailed, accurate information on wildfire threat, fire behavior potential and susceptibility for severe damage. The WRIP data is used by fire professionals for mitigation planning, prevention efforts and emergency response.

1. Fire Perimeter Maps

Fire perimeters have been obtained from government agencies coordinating emergency response and firefighting efforts. Date and time is presented on each detailed map. These maps will be updated as new fire perimeters are made available. These maps are provided to help communicate current status and wildfire potential to support public safety.
