With so many people accessing fire layers and because we are starting to see CalTopo maps in lots of fire briefings and news, we wrote a new training page explaining how all these layers work and what you can, and can't, learn from them.

We added a new fire activity overlay option, GOES Heat. This is a different way to visualize where the fire is most active. See training.caltopo.com/all_use… for more about using our fire layers. #CaldorFire #DixieFire
