On May 16, 2012, at 9:55 a.m. local time (16:55 Universal Time), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on NASA’s Terra
satellite acquired this image of the Gladiator and Sunflower wildfires
in Arizona. Both fires were burning on National Forest lands north of
Phoenix. The Gladiator Fire began on May 13 and by May 16 had prompted
an evacuation order for the historic mining community of Crown King,
which is not clearly visible in this image but is just south of the
fire. By May 17, the blaze had burned 5,420 acres of ponderosa pine and
chaparral, and firefighters considered it 5 percent contained. The
Sunflower Fire began on May 12, had burned 12,500 acres by May 17, and
was not threatening any nearby communities.
