There is a new tool being used to monitor fire at Crater Lake National Park on the Bybee Wildland Fire Use Complex. A webcam was recently installed at the Watchman Lookout, providing a prime view of the fire and an updated image once per hour from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. PDT. Park and fire managers chose to install the webcam to provide visual information to park management as well as to interested individuals in surrounding communities.

(Webmaster's note: these links are no longer active. However, the webcam at the Crater Lake rim parking area is now active again.)

The webcam, updated hourly, is located at http://aff2.dyndns.org/SatCam/vstar/122/Bybee%20Fire.jpg. 
 

A slide show with fire images over the previous 24 hours is located at http://aff2.dyndns.org/SatCam/vstar/122/slides.htm and metadata regarding the images is at
