Map showing heat detected by a satellite over the Station Fire up through 11:36 a.m., October 12, 2015. The dots represent heat, but most of the vegetation is grass which can burn and then cool off before the next satellite overflight. Wildfire Today. Click on image to enlarge.

Above are two images taken from the USDA Forest Service Remote Sensing Applications Center. These images were taken on Sunday, October 11th right around the time the Cole Creek / Station Fire blew up near Evansville.

The image on the left is a combination of satellite spectral bands that are combined to create a "true color" image. The image on the right is a "false color" image that uses a combination of satellite bands/channels to produce an image that highlights hot spots. Click on image to enlarge.
