Scale of California's Deadly Camp Fire Shown in Satellite Photos







		As wildfires continue to burn in California, new satellite photos show the massive scale of the deadly camp fire That has devastated the northern city of the state of Paradise.

		The new wildfire photos, taken on Friday (November 9) by DigitalGlobe's WorldView 3 satellite, show breathtaking views of the Camp Fire as it continues to grow in northern California. The satellite photos in natural color show the thick smoke of the fires around other cities near Paradise. Other views taken with WorldView-3's shortwave infrared instrument, which can look through the smoke, reveal the lines of fire as the fire spreads.

		"As will be seen in the images, the forest fires are extensive and spread throughout the area," said DigitalGlobe representatives in a statement.

		NASA has been tracking the end-of-season forest fires with its Landsat 8 and Earth observation Earth satellites since the Camp Fire began on Thursday (November 8). The fire ignited in an area about 90 miles (140 kilometers) north of Sacramento.

		"The strong winds pushed the fire to the south and the southwest during the night, tripling its size and spreading the smoke over the Valley of Sacramento", Kasha Patel, from NASA. wrote in an update on Friday (November 9). The Camp Fire has only grown since then.

		Until Sunday (November 11), the Camp Fire had become the third deadliest forest fire in California, with 23 deaths attributed to the fire. CNN reported. It has burned 105,000 acres, destroying the city of Paradise, and is contained by 20 percent, according to an update of Cal Fire.  

		Two other large wildfires are burning in Southern California. They are the Woolsey fire in Los Angeles and Ventura counties (which has burned 83,275 acres and is contained in 5 percent), and the Hill fire (which has burned 4,531 acres and is contained in 65 percent), according to Cal Fire.

		"More than 2,000 employees have been sent to combat the Camp Fire, which is expected to be completely contained by November 30," Patel wrote in the NASA update. "The firefighters are having a hard time containing it because of the strong winds, which fan the flames and transport the burning vegetation downwind, the area also has heavy and dry fuel loads, or flammable material."
