Interactive 3D map shows Sandy Fire perimeter, evacuation zones

As firefighters continue to build containment lines around the 1,700-acre Sandy Fire in Simi Valley, CalFire is offering the public a three-dimensional view of the fire perimeter, evacuation zones and aerials firefighting resources.

CalFire’s interactive map shows the burn scar indicated in yellow; red shows heat detection, areas under mandatory evacuation orders are shown in pink, and yellow indicates an evacuation warning.

Users can also see the paths of firefighting helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, which move in real-time. The controls on the right allow you to toggle on and off various features.

The Sandy Fire broke out late Monday morning near Sandy Avenue. The cause remains under investigation. One home was destroyed. The fire was 15% contained as of 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
