The San Francisco Chronicle<\/em>\u2019s 2018 California Fire Tracker<\/a> is an interactive map of ongoing and contained wildfires\u2014notably, at this moment, the Camp<\/a> and Woolsey<\/a> fires. It includes fire perimeter and air quality data. (Note: it’s glitchy on desktop Safari.)<\/p>\n

Two Esri maps: a general wildfire map<\/a> and a map of smoke from wildfires<\/a> [Maps Mania<\/a>]. Add to that a map of field damage reports<\/a> in the area hit by the Camp Fire [Maps Mania<\/a>].<\/p>\n

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has produced a map of the damage from the Camp Fire<\/a> based on satellite radar images. NASA Earth Observatory has maps and animations showing the impact of the Camp Fire on air quality<\/a> and satellite images of the Woolsey Fire burn scar<\/a>.<\/p>\n
