About this work
In San Bernardino County, California, the Blue Cut fire burned ferociously for one week starting Aug. 16, 2016. By the time it was contained, it had burned 36,000 acres and destroyed 105 homes. More than 80,000 people were affected by evacuation orders. Ten days after containment, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft captured this image of the region, highlighting the extent of the damage.
