This package contains a representation of the current (April 2003) San Francisco Fire, about 60 NM south of Albquerque along the Rio Grande River bosque area. More precisely it is less than 5 NM North of the OMN (Socorro, NM) VOR. This is the first fire of the 2003 fire season and so far only two P-3 tankers have been certified safe for operations after the disasters in the 2002 season where several of the older aircraft crashed due to airframe fatique. The USFS needs your help! Load up your favorite slurry bomber and head down. The fire is contained to the west side of the Rio Grande right now, and you'll find fire trucks working along the western face of the fire.
