Wild Fires In The Western And Southwestern Us. Magnet

June 27, 2012 - View from space of the wild fires in the western and southwestern United States. These particular fires, of unknown cause, are burning at the south end of the Wyoming Range in southwestern Wyoming, and have affected 17,000 acres. The fires have produced two major smoke plumes, seen at center of the frame. Utah's Great Salt Lake (bottom center) is about 120 miles away. Winds transport the smoke in a northeasterly direction.
