Stunning imagery captured by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s satellite 22,300 miles in space shows massive plumes of smoke and heat signatures from the wildfires blazing in Northern California, including the enormous Dixie Fire.
The high-resolution imagery which was overlaid with thermal imagery to show the wildfire hot spots was captured from NOAA’s GOES-17 satellite on Tuesday between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., said John Leslie, a spokesperson for NOAA’s Satellites. The dramatic footage shows reddish-orange land in areas where active wildfires have very high thermal signature

These Cute Animals Are On the Mend After Reckoning With West Coast Wildfires
On 7/29/21 at 9:21 PM EDT
It s fire season again in the Western United States with temperatures up and rainfall levels down. Massive wildfires are wreaking havoc on humans and animals alike, but nothing can keep these cute critters down. Read ahead and view five adorable animals who have faced down west coast fires, and come out the other side still looking like total sweetie pies.
Meet Tamarack the black bear cub, named for the forest fire that injured his tiny jelly bean paws. The Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care said in a series of Facebook posts that it got a call from a homeowner who saw the injured cub in their yard. Tamarack was lucky because this area was still under restriction, and rescuers had to get special permission to get him and take him into their healing facility.
