Terra/MODIS Rapid-Response Fires: Life of the Blue Complex Fire
Animation starts with the 8/13/01 true color MODIS image and then zooms down to the Blue Complex fire. It then cycles through the life of the Blue Complex fire starting on 8/13/01, ending on 8/18/01 (using false color data - bands: 1, 2, 3) when it was finally contained. Active fires are shown in orange and yellow. Burn scars are shown in black and gray.
