AOI Intelligence Map
Source-backed thermal detections with preliminary Firehound context layers.
Executive Assessment
Observed heat and inferred corridor status.
Firehound is seeing 8 thermal detections across the AOI layer. The latest detection timestamp is May 19, 10:04 PM UTC. The working interpretation is expanding, with the active heat pattern aligned to the northeastern corridor shown on the map.
The threat corridor is not a prediction or evacuation product. It is a directional exposure layer derived from recent thermal activity, wind, terrain assumptions, and uncertainty. Official evacuation instructions remain authoritative.

Inferred layers are probabilistic and may be delayed, incomplete, or incorrect. Official perimeters and evacuation zones may update independently of Firehound.
Operational Caution
Firehound does not issue evacuation advice, route guidance, or life-safety decisions. Use this as an intelligence layer beside official CAL FIRE, county, sheriff, and emergency-management instructions.
