Several large wildfires burned out of control in Oregon through most of July and into August 2002, while there was also fire activity in Washington and California.
This true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) from August 27, 2002, shows the Biscuit and Tiller Complex Fires in Oregon. The Biscuit Fire (south) has a large, purplish-brown burn scar that gives evidence of the immensity of the fire.
