The massive columns of smoke stretch high into the sky revealing the magnitude of the fire. Winds appear to push miles and miles of smoke coverage in one direction, cloaking all of the surrounding areas.
Wildfires are not uncommon in this area. However the strength of these fires has been intensified because of an extended drought and prolonged heatwaves -- both likely enhanced by human-caused climate change.
The photos also reveal how much larger the northern fires are in comparison to those burning elsewhere in the state.
While the Carr Fire is rightfully demanding most of the media’s attention, there are at least 17 other fires currently burning throughout California.
