I did not know it at the time, but the Creek Fire (which had started the previous evening) had “blown up” earlier in the day as I began hiking. Located about 45 miles away, it rapidly grew in size sending smoke tens of thousands of feet into the air, forcing evacuations, and threatening several communities. It was yet another devastating fire in what was already an unprecedented fire season in California.<\/p>\n

The impact of any fire is not limited to those in close proximity to the active perimeter, but can extend hundreds of miles to far away communities where smoke impacts air quality. For example, Bishop, California, is approximately 55 miles away from the Creek Fire as the crow flies, on the opposite side of the Sierra Nevada range. According to the NowCast Air Quality Index, that afternoon in Bishop the air quality was rated hazardous due to the smoke.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":999822,"id":999822,"title":"smoke-3","filename":"smoke-3.jpg","filesize":30616,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/smoke-3.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/mapping\/map-in-a-minute-smoke\/smoke-3","alt":"Hazardous air quality","author":"7641","description":"","caption":"","name":"smoke-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":999722,"date":"2020-09-06 21:56:39","modified":"2020-09-06 21:57:03","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":446,"height":443,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/smoke-3-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/smoke-3.jpg","medium-width":263,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/smoke-3.jpg","medium_large-width":446,"medium_large-height":443,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/smoke-3.jpg","large-width":446,"large-height":443,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/smoke-3.jpg","1536x1536-width":446,"1536x1536-height":443,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/smoke-3.jpg","2048x2048-width":446,"2048x2048-height":443,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/smoke-3.jpg","card_image-width":446,"card_image-height":443,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/smoke-3.jpg","wide_image-width":446,"wide_image-height":443}},"image_position":"left-center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
