Active Hotspots
Active Hotspots are heat signatures detected by NASA satellites.

  • Snapshots happen 3-4 times per day.
  • Some heat may be non-wildfire.

Wind Dynamics

first 2 will be pulled from the fire automatically.

Can have dynamic values. Ie > Higher wind value raises directional randomness value.

Wind Speed

Controls the velocity of particle movement, simulating how wind speed affects ember and heat plume transport.

11mph

Wind Direction

The prevailing direction of the wind as provided by the closest NWS weather station, expressed in degrees.

N(0)E(90)S(180)W(270) 0degrees

Directional Randomness

Simulates turbulence and local wind variations by adding random fluctuations to particle trajectories, similar to fire-induced wind eddies.

12%
Particle Dynamics

Can also have dynamic values. Ie > Higher wind reduces scale decay. Or Higher acreage increases. More than 30 hotspots increases particle lifespan. Etc.

Particle Lifespan

Determines how long each heat visualization element persists, analogous to the duration of visible thermal signatures in infrared imagery.

30frames

Particle Density

Controls the concentration of visualization elements within each burst, similar to the density of detected thermal signatures in a given area.

20%

Particle Scale Decay

Determines how quickly particles diminish in size over their lifespan, representing the cooling and dissipation of thermal signatures.

60%

Particle Scale Variation

Controls the range of initial particle sizes, simulating the variation in intensity of thermal signatures across a detection area.

80%
Burst/Emitter Dynamics

(⛔️ Some of these aren't totally working.). Controls the detailed behavior of fire particle emission patterns.

Burst Frequency

Sets how often new groups of particles are emitted, simulating the pulsing nature of thermal plumes and intermittent fire behavior.

2per sec

Particles Per Burst

Determines the number of thermal signatures released in each emission event, representing the intensity of individual heat releases.

3

Burst Duration

Controls how long each emission event lasts, analogous to the duration of individual thermal pulses in fire behavior.

0.3sec

Gap Between Bursts

Sets the cooling or rest period between emission events, representing the cyclical nature of fire intensity fluctuations.

0.2sec

Burst Length Variation

Adds randomness to the duration of each burst, simulating the natural variability in fire behavior and thermal signature patterns.

Fire Warning: AVOID SMOKE - Mount Mort - fire as at 5:45pm Monday, 6 January 2025

 

Warning level: ADVICE

 

Warning area: Mount Mort

 

Smoke is currently affecting Mount Mort. This is from a fire burning near Lunds Road.

 

What you should do:

- Stay inside and close windows and doors.

- Keep respiratory medication close by.

- Follow your bushfire survival plan now. If you do not have a bushfire survival plan, make one on the QFD website.

- Avoid driving through smoke if you can.

- Watch out for firefighters working in the area.

- Do not fly drones around the fire. Drones affect air operations.

 

Impacts:

- No properties are at risk.

- Smoke can make it hard for some people to breathe.

- Smoke can make it hard to see when you are driving.

- Some roads may be closed.

 

Further Information:

- For all warnings, visit the QFD Current Bushfires and Warnings website.

- Follow QFD on Facebook and X.com.

- For road closures, visit the QLD Traffic website or call 13 19 40.

- Visit the Department of Environment and Science website for live air quality data.

- Find out how to get ready for a bushfire on the QFD website under Prepare - Bushfire.

 

Updates will be issued if the situation changes.
