Resources for tracking fires in Oregon and Washington

Here's a great resource for tracking the fires.

First up, maps. I think this is the best one:

• https://www.esri.com/en-us/disaster-response/disasters/wildfires

There's also this one:

• https://www.oregon.gov/odf/fire/pages/firestats.aspx

It uses satellites to pinpoint where the hot spots on the ground are. It's good for getting a general idea of where there fires are, but it's not 100% accurate and it won't be able to tell you if the fire is on one side of the road vs the other, if you're trying to find out if a specific house is on fire. (Trust me, I tried...)

Second, for those of you living in Clackamas County, here are the evacuation notices. SUPER important to check this often because it changes.

• https://ccgis-mapservice.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=fe0525732f1a4f679b75a5ccf1c84b30&fbclid=IwAR35bE4KeOpR61GRhD8p7-eLqZArQwdKtZW9xkPqQ2Ee3JFV-JYs_QzgkCo

Here's one for Washington County:
