Digital Elevation Model of LA County, overlay of progressive perimeters of Station Fire
The first map is the Digital Elevation Model of LA County with the perimeters of Station Fire. In the map, we can find out that the fire located in the middle part of LA County. At first it didn’t happen to a large area, only a small area, the red part shown in the graph. However, it spread to the north part of LA County quickly, which is going to the higher elevation with orange and yellow color part.

Digital Elevation Map of LA County with Station Fire Perimeters, Cities and Hospitals around the fire area.
The map is about how the fire would influence to the cities near it and hospitals around. The result is obvious. There are 3 cities and 2 hospitals which are the nearest to the fire. So, they are under threat. However, the fire was going to north. Well, we can say although the cities and hospitals are in danger, but they are not that “danger”.
