      The Station fire

      A false-color satellite image from NASA:



      The newly charred land is black in this false-color image, which was made with near infrared light. Plants are dark red, and man-made surfaces, particularly the dense urban centers of Pasadena and Burbank, are blue and white.

      The burned area covers much of the San Gabriel Mountains, edging down into residential areas northwest of Pasadena. Smoke rolls off the eastern edge of the burned land. The fire was still burning, just over 50 percent contained when the image was taken. According to the incident report from September 8, the fire was pushing east into forest with no recorded fire history. The fire had previously burned through tall, thick forest that had not seen fire in the past 40 years.

        And not related to this fire, but I noticed this in a comment on OC Metblogs--Google Streetview capturing what the sky looked like during a fire in Orange County.

          Whoah, it came awfully close to the rose bowl.
