Did You Know Fires Can be Seen From Space?

Did you know fires can be seen from space?

My blogging friend Montucky has been chronicling the Chippy Creek Fire that has been burning for two weeks or more. The fire is huge and keeps on growing. So far he says the fire has burned over 128 square miles. He photographed some of the small planes dropping slurry to help control the fire. One of the comments made to him mentioned the fact that fires can be seen from the space shuttle and the space station. Montucky concurred that this particular fire was visible in some photos taken from space.
