The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on the Landsat 8 satellite got revealing view with a false-color image (below) of the Rocky Fire on August 3, 2015.
In the composite image, based on observations of short-wave infrared and near-infrared light, charred vegetation appears in red and unburned vegetation appears gray. Actively burning fires are orange. The fire destroyed 43 homes and threatened nearly 7,000 structures, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
