"More than 2,000 personnel have been sent to fight the Camp Fire, which is predicted to be fully contained by Nov. 30"!

The new wildfire photos, taken Friday (Nov. 9) by DigitalGlobe’s WorldView 3 satellite, show striking views of the Camp Fire as it continues to grow in northern California. Natural-color satellite photos show thick smoke from the fires around Paradise other nearby towns.

“As you will see in the images, the wildfires are extensive and spreading through the area,” DigitalGlobe representatives said in a statement.

NASA has been tracking California’s late-season wildfires with its Earth-watching Landsat 8 and Terra satellites since the Camp Fire began on Thursday (Nov. 8). The fire ignited in an area about 90-miles (140 kilometers) north of Sacramento.
