Rodeo and Chediski Fires in Arizona
On June 21, 2002, the Rodeo and Chediski Fires in east-central Arizona were still two separate fires. This false-color scene from the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus aboard the Landsat 7 satellite shows the active perimeter of the fires in yellow, vegetation in green, burned areas in pinkish-green, and smoke in blue. In this image, the smaller Chediski Fire is on the left, and the Rodeo Fire is on the right. The fires, which are burning about 100 miles east-northeast of Phoenix, merged over the June 22 weekend.
