The Washington Post<\/em> maps the largest of the wildfires<\/a> burning in northern California: the Carr Fire<\/a> threatening the city of Redding and surrounding communities. The Redding Record Searchlight<\/em> has drone footage of the destruction<\/a> wreaked by the Carr Fire in Shasta County. NASA has natural and false-colour imagery (Earth Observatory<\/a>, Visible Earth<\/a>) of the Carr Fire, as well as the Ranch and River Fires to the south, the so-called Mendocino Complex. See the Mercury News<\/em>’s fire map of the Mendocino Complex<\/a>, whose two fires’ combined acreage is now larger than the Carr Fire. Meanwhile, German astronaut Alexander Gerst observed the California wildfires from the International Space Station<\/a>.
