Containment of Monroe Canyon Fire drops; smoke moves across Utah

[pyrogeography]

This afternoon we got a drop of Sentinel satellite imagery for the Dragon Bravo and Monroe Canyon Fires, in Arizona and Utah, which catches both fires in the midst of kicking some serious ass!

We interpret the hours-old infrared satellite imagery, talk about the use of drones for firing operations, discuss circumstances where high-severity timber fires may be ecologically beneficial or normal, and spot some recent large-scale fuels management projects that got smoked in the past couple days.
