Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Original caption:

"The Chips fire was first reported in Plumas National Forest on July 29, 2012, burning about 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of Quincy, California. By September 5, it had charred more than 75,000 acres (300 square kilometers). Though parts of the fire were still smoldering on that date, fire officials considered the blaze 100 percent contained.

The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on the Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite acquired these images of the affected area on September 1, 2012. Burned vegetation appears red in the false-color image (top); unburned areas are green. In the natural color image (bottom), thin smoke drifts near the eastern edge of the burn scar."
