Fire in Hawaii
A fire on the big island of Hawaii was producing a large plume of smoke curling around between the islands. Below is a high resolution 250 m image from MODIS Aqua, with the fire pixels outlined in red. The NOAA Operational Significant Event Imagery team posted an annotated image of the fire, reporting that it is a major brush fire with some homes and residents at risk.
