| Description |
The VIIRS instrument on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite captured this image showing smoke pouring out from the Fontenelle Fire in Wyoming, located just 18 miles (29 kilometers) west of Big Piney. The mid-infrared sensors on VIIRS show the red contours representing the heat from the fires. The blaze, first reported at 4 p.m. local time on June 24, still continues to burn. According to Inciweb, as of July 16 the fire had burned 64,083 acres. In the image strong southwesterly winds carried the thick smoke towards the northeast. The U.S. Forest Service reported that, as of June 26, smoke could be seen by residents of the Dubois area. “The teams are calling for the estimated containment in November,” said Nan Stinson, Bridger-Teton National Forest public information officer. “There are still pockets of burning; we’re expecting the fire to have heat in it until winter.” VIIRS continues a legacy set by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), an instrument aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites. These images provide active fire data, burn scars and smoke plumes as emergency response teams continue to fight the fires.
