Lots of wildfires in the Northwest Territories today - see map below. Some pyroconvection on some of the fires on the GOES-West geocolor. Expect of lots of fire growth today and tomorrow.

I recently used the Data.Table::fread function to import Nfirs annual data files into R. These files contain over 50 million rows of the nation's fire calls with 40+ columns of variables. ::fread was faster than other standard R functions, and Excel won't handle this size. #firedata #R #datatable
