12/09/16 - BAER Burned Area Severity Maps Now Available

The Burned Area Emergency Response, BAER, team has released their Burned Area Severity maps .  Below you will see detailed maps showing the burned areas within the fire perimeters and how severe the burned areas are.

Each map shows the burned areas, the severity of the burn, and in most maps, the very low and unburned areas within the fire perimeter.   Combined across the complex of the six fires the BAER team is analyzing, less than 1% of the burn was extreme.  By contrast, 38% of the area within the fires was very low or unburned.

This first map is an overview of the six fires the BAER team are developing a report for.  The fires they are analyzing are:

  • Maple Springs Fire
  • Dick's Creek Fire
  • Tellico Fire
  • Camp Branch Fire
  • Knob Fire
  • Boteler Fire

Each fire has a Burned Area Severity map.  NOTE:  Each map has the total burned severity of all the fires in the complex as it's legend.  Each map does not have it's own individual analysis.
