By July 7, firefighters labored to contain nearly three dozen large, early-season wildland fires that raced through forests in several parts of the western U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/utah-fire-info-utahdnr.hub.arcgis.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Utah<\/a> was among the most active states, with fires having charred 558 square miles (1,445 square kilometers) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nifc.gov\/fire-information\/nfn#Utah\" rel=\"noopener\">four major fires<\/a> that were not fully contained still burning.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/inciweb.wildfire.gov\/incident-information\/utfif-cottonwood-fire\" rel=\"noopener\">Cottonwood fire<\/a> ranked as one of Utah\u2019s\u2014and the country\u2019s\u2014largest and most destructive fires of the year so far.

The image on the left shows the same area on June 5, a few weeks before the fire ignited. In this band combination of shortwave infrared, near infrared, and visible light, unburned vegetation appears bright green, snow is blue, and clouds are white.<\/p>\n<p>Ponderosa pine, oak, sagebrush, and grasses were among the vegetation types that burned. Officials with the state\u2019s forestry division told news media that the Cottonwood fire had destroyed up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksl.com\/article\/51579076\/estimated-150-buildings-destroyed-in-southern-utah-wildfire-fire-managers-say\" rel=\"noopener\">150 structures<\/a>.

FEDS draws on data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nesdis.noaa.gov\/our-satellites\/currently-flying\/joint-polar-satellite-system\/visible-infrared-imaging-radiometer-suite-viirs#:~:text=The%20Visible%20Infrared%20Imaging%20Radiometer,%2C%20atmosphere%2C%20cryosphere%20and%20oceans.\" rel=\"noopener\">VIIRS<\/a> (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) sensors aboard the Suomi NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 satellites, which detect active fires day and night by their <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/ems\/07_infraredwaves\/\" rel=\"noopener\">thermal infrared signature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>FEDS is one of several tools available to firefighters and emergency management officials when responding to fires. First responders often rely on higher-resolution airborne imagers or on firefighters walking fire edges to map perimeters. FEDS offers a different advantage: consistent, easily accessible data that do not need to be specially requested, according to Tempest McCabe, a University of Maryland scientist based at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center who helped develop the tool. As a result, FEDS often detects a fire\u2019s start earlier than other sources and tracks blazes for their full duration. To capitalize on strengths like these, the FEDS team is working closely with operational <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwcg.gov\/positions\/fire-behavior-analyst\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fire behavior analysts<\/a>, with support from NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cce.nasa.gov\/firesense\/intro.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FireSense program<\/a>, to better understand and anticipate periods of rapid fire spread.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 1,289 firefighters have been deployed to the Cottonwood fire, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/inciweb.wildfire.gov\/\" rel=\"noopener\">InciWeb<\/a>, a website managed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nifc.gov\/fire-information\/pio-bulletin-board\/inciweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Interagency Fire Center<\/a>. As of July 7, the fire was 56 percent contained, but forecasters expect a hot, dry weather pattern to persist in the coming days, with fire behavior likely to be \u201cvery active to extreme\u201d over the next 72 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Government satellite data are part of a global system of observations used to track fire behavior and analyze emerging trends.
