Mapping the Line Fire<\/h3>\n

Last September, the Line fire<\/a> raged in the mountains north of San Bernardino, encroaching on the area, along with the nearby Bridge and Airport fires. To convey the ongoing situation, CalFire created a 3D interactive map<\/a> using Scene Viewer, and news agencies mapped the fire extents<\/a> to accompany their reporting.<\/p>\n

Now that the Line fire is contained (according to Esri\u2019s Wildfire Aware app<\/a>), I decided to map the extent of the fire to test out adding atmospheric effects to 3D maps in ArcGIS Pro.<\/p>\n

When mapping fire, it is important to keep clarity and sensitivity at the forefront of the design process because fire can be incredibly destructive and dangerous for communities impacted. Select colors that help visualize severity (such as oranges and reds) and think critically about symbology choices to mirror the serious nature of a fire.<\/p>\n

Adding ‘smoke’ to the map<\/h3>\n

I used an orange color to map the Line Fire extent using WFIGS Interagency Fire Perimeters<\/a>. I also included hydrography and transportation data sourced from the Esri Living Atlas.<\/p>\n

In ArcGIS Pro, the 3D environment uses the default appearance of a clear sky, which is not realistic for an ongoing wildfire event.<\/p>\n

To communicate the atmospheric effects of this intense fire, I applied a fog effect<\/a> to my map, using a tan\/orange color to add ‘smoke’ to the sky around the fire. Adding color to the fog effect is available in the latest release of ArcGIS Pro 3.4.<\/p>\n

Every map is an abstract representation of reality, so it is never going to look exactly like it would in the real world. And that is a good thing! If we made the \u2018sky\u2019 in this map as smoky as when the fire was ongoing, it would be impossible to see the data we are trying to map.
