California Wildfires, November 2018
On November 8, 2018, the Camp Fire erupted 90 miles (140 kilometers) north of Sacramento, California. Strong winds pushed the fire to the south and southwest overnight, tripling its size and spreading smoke over the Sacramento Valley. As of 10 Pacific Standard Time on November 9, the fire had consumed 70,000 acres of land and was five percent contained, or surrounded by a barrier. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this natural-color image on November 9. The image also shows two more fires in southern California, the Hill and Woolsey Fires.
