Thanks. The smoke is intense. Tonight the fight may be on the east side, and on the ridgeline, as the wind is changing direction as I write.

Good luck with the fire and I hope you are clear of danger. Is this map
File:SantaBarbaraWildfire.png adapted from the
BBC News] all right, or should it be adapted some how. There does not seem to be another map online of the extent of the blaze.
Thanks, appreciate it! Actually, let me explain the problem with the map. The BBC map shows the yellow and red polygons ending at the dirt road at the top of the
Santa Ynez Mountains. The northern boundary of Santa Barbara County coincidentally has a profile while resembles that of the road, which is nowhere near the northern boundary of the county -- that's 50 miles away from here. So the fire and evacuation areas, on the map you and Arkyan made, are about an order of magnitude too large -- they cover a vast swath of the county, maybe a thousand square miles -- rather than the tiny portion they should. See the tiny red blob near the bottom? That's the city of Santa Barbara. The fire and evacuation area covers only a small part of *that* blob, along with a bit to the north of it. Thanks,

I'd draw it myself if I had GIS tools on my laptop ... but that would have to wait until Monday.

See the label "Santa Barbara" in the lower right, above the city? The northern extremity of the fire and evacaution areas extend roughly from the last "a" in "Santa" to the last "a" in "Barbara". You can see the mountain crest in the hillshade; as of this writing the fire has not crossed over the crest, and the BBC map stops at the crest.

Oh, thank you! I understand. I used adobe photoshop and deleted the other image on commons. This is the new one...from which I used your image and tried to overlay the area onto it. It is wider than the BBC map for the evacuation area, but the same height.
File:Santa-Barbara-Wildfire.png It all sounds very frightening from the news reports, do take care.

That looks good, and it appears accurate! Thank you! Never occurred to me to put it on an existing map ... :)

I see what you mean by the HUGE difference. Thanks for helping, I added an annotated image to the article. I don't have mapping tools loaded yet myself, but I should already, as they do come in handy.

Resolved The lede currently contains information not appearing in the main body of the article. I would move this information into the main body and then re-write the lede in order to summarise the entirety of the article.
