Guiberson Fire 2009/09/24

Today I drove down from San Francisco to a hotel in Newbury Park, ready to deploy GeoCam phones to the Guiberson Fire tomorrow morning.

Our friend Tom Zajkowski from the US Forest Service is acting as liaison with our host, Buddy Bloxham, the Sit Unit Leader from CAL FIRE Incident Command Team 10. Lanny Lin, who interned with GeoCam this summer, is flying in from BYU to help. We'll have 9 GeoCam phones altogether and will get as many as possible in the hands of field observers on the ground and aircraft crew.
