The fire on Long Island in the summer of 1995 was captured in a series of multi-spectral GOES-8 imagery on 25 August 1995. The GOES-8 visible image at 1402 UTC shows a smoke plume extending from the fire. A series of 3.9 micron imagery at 1402, 1632, and 1945 shows the variation in fire intensity during this time period. The 3.9 and 10.7 observed fire brightness temperatures (T4 and T11, respectively) and corresponding nearby background non-fire brightness temperatures (TB4 and TB11, respectively) are plotted for every 15 minutes for the time period 1402 to 2102 UTC. The 3.9 micron time series shows the elevated brightness temperatures associated with the fire and large changes from one time period to the next. These changes represent variations in fire size/intensity, since the pattern is not duplicated in the T11, TB4, and TB11 time series.
