Days 35 and 36 of the Georgia/Florida fires
The largest wildfire in Georgia history started on 16 April, and continued to burn on 20 May and 21 May 2007. The Terra and Aqua false-color red/green/blue (RGB) images using MODIS channels 07, 02, and 01 (above) reveal the extensive burn scars resulting from the 472,000 acre Sweat Farm Road / Big Turnaround fire south of Waycross, Georgia (station identifier KAYS), as well as the 125,000 acre Bugaboo fire that straddled the Georgia/Florida border. The locations of the hottest active fires were indicated by the pink-colored pixels along the periphery of the burn scars.
