| Bullock Fire, near Tucson, Arizona: This image of the Bullock
Fire was taken by the crew of the International Space Station using a
digital camera on May 23, 2002, two days after the fire began. By May
25, fighting the fire was listed as the top national priority. The
mountainous region of the Coronado National Forest, northeast of
Tucson, Arizona, is highlighted by the low sun angle when the
photograph was taken. Around 30,560 acres were consumed by the blaze
(which was 85% contained by June 3) but it is still considered
dangerous. Data and maps on the Bullock fire can be found at the Coronado National Forest Website. |
