Agency Wildland Fire Stations by Lat/Long on Google Earth/Maps

[originalab]

Some of the most popular discussions or threads here on the Hotlist are about maps, making maps, or viewing maps. It's long been on our wish list to be able to view a map showing the locations and knowing more about wildland fire stations. With the dedicated support and contributions of our hotlist moderators over the last winter, we've been creating our own maps showing what we wanted to know. We're very excited to finally be able to share the maps and encourage you to use the following Station Maps link to find out what they are, how to view them, and how you can help us make them more accurate and up to date: Station Maps Info

If you are comfortable with Google Earth and/or Google Maps and want to jump direct to the maps, here are the links. Please use the above link if you experience any problems or or have questions. We know the maps need work, please see the section in the Station Maps Info page on how you can help and how to submit updates. Please do not use the Contact Us link here on the Hotlist Forums or post in this thread to provide updates. We look forward hearing your thoughts, ideas, and comments on the maps here. Thanks, OA.

WOW- nice job Abs and Mods!!! This is amazing stuff, totally cool, it must have been a lot of work. It will come in handy for upcoming fire season, I'm sure.

Very nice, Abs & Mods; quite a project. This should turn out to be a very, very useful tool, especially when things start runnin' and gunnin' during the seasons.

One of my bigger frustrations is that I always want to know just where the fire is, how far the units are coming from, where staging is... you know; all the stuff you'd want to know while you're on the road.

And even I can navigate this!

Thanks, guys.

Good work on station and camp locations. I noted though that for North Ops, some of the stations and camps operated by CalFire have the Forest Service logo. Other than that, a very good product and will be very useful for people not framiliar with facilities and their locations.

Quite a few Cal Fire updates this morning from a person traveling south down Hwy 101 from Fortuna. Updates include HUU, LNU, and MEU, with accurate lat/longs and quite a few new photos. Thanks much for the help!

The MEU Leggett station lat/long is closer now than it was, but not quite there yet. Anyone who can put the placemark in the driveway or on the engine bay, let me know.

Any chance there is a link for CalFire/County fire stations?

Example: SLC 21 at the airport, 64 in Pismo Beach, 15 in South Bay, ect?

Any chance someone can help me figure out these maps, nothin shows up when I click the links.

Send me a PM, I will try to help you out, sometimes it takes some tweaking to get them to work in Google Maps.
