Summary

Description
English: This image combines visible, short wave and near-infra-red light to make burned areas (brick red) stand out better from unburned vegetation (bright green). In this kind of false-colour image, the bright pink areas along the perimeters of the fires are often a sign of open flame. To the east, the smaller Wood River Fire (107,634 acres) has bright pink spots along both its northern and southern perimeters.
