I am trying to collect the columns of the following website into R.
[http://bcfireinfo.for.gov.bc.ca/hprScripts/WildfireNews/Fires.asp?Mode=normal&AllFires=1&FC=0]

I succeed to get the data of all columns except the first column (there is a column before Fire No. - it is the one with the little houses)

What I need is just to have YES or NO there is an image (that house) for each fire no. (=each row).

Currently I get an empty column when I scrap it. How can I solve it ?
Those are what I tried:

Interface_html <- html_nodes(webpage,'td:nth-child(1)')
Interface_data <- html_text(Interface_html)
head(Interface_data)

AND also:

links <- webpage %>%
html_nodes("td:nth-child(1)") %>%
html_attr("src") %>%
as.data.frame()
