Summary

Description

On Sunday, October 26, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) captured this image of the Old Fire/Grand Prix fire burning on either side of Interstate 15 near the Cajon Pass in the San Bernardino Mountains, roughly 80 km (50 mi) east of Los Angeles, CA. When this image was acquired, the fire had burned more than 80,000 acres, consumed 450 structures, and caused 2 fatalities. Most of the local communities were evacuated as the fire continued to spread rapidly, fanned by the intense Santa Ana winds.

The image in simulated natural color shows the how the scene would look from above to a human eye.
