The Roaring Rodeo-Chediski Fire

In June 2002, the Rodeo-Chediski Fire burned nearly 500,000 acres in eastern Arizona, making it the worst wild fire in Arizona’s history. This false-color Landsat 5 image, acquired on June 29, shows the active fire front and the massive burn scar created by the blaze.
