This animation shows the camera pulling out from the Southwestern US while fire activity during the summer of 2002 is displayed. The fires are shown as tiny particles with each particle depicting the site at which a fire was detected. Daily fires are displayed at a rate of 5 days per second. The particles fade over 3.4 seconds and change color as they age from red to orange, yellow and grey. A clock inset indicates the date.
