Moonlight Fire, California
| Title |
Moonlight Fire, California |
| Description |
Northerly winds drove the Moonlight Fire south through the Plumas National Forest in Northern California on September 5, 2007. According to reports from the National Forest Service, [ http://www.inciweb.org/incident/978/ ] the fire had grown to 28,000 acres since its start on September 3, and mandatory evacuations were in effect on September 6. The cause of the fire was still being investigated. This image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov ] satellite shows the fire spreading smoke over the Sacramento Valley on September 5. The area where MODIS detected actively burning fire is outlined in red. The terrain where the fire is burning has heavy timber, a lot of small fuels (slash) lying on the ground, and 80 percent slopes, the extremely steep terrain is a significant challenge for firefighters. The large image provided above has a spatial resolution (level of detail) of 250 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response Team provides twice-daily [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/?USA1/ ] images of the region in additional resolutions.

Moonlight Fire, California
| Title |
Moonlight Fire, California |
| Description |
According to the USDA Forest Service's InciWeb information system, the Moonlight Fire in northern California had grown to more than 63,000 acres as of September 11, 2007. Burning in thick forests on steep slopes, the fire had forced mandatory evacuations and closures of the surrounding Plumas National Forest. This image of the fire was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov ] satellite on September 10. Places where the sensor detected actively burning fire are outlined in red. Smoke blows west over Lake Almanor and toward the Sacramento Valley. The large image provided above has a spatial resolution (level of detail) of 250 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response Team provides twice-daily [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/?USA1 ] images of the region in additional resolutions and formats, including an infrared-enhanced version that highlights burn scars.
