- Title
GEORGIA WILDFIRES.
- Abstract
The article reports on the forest fires in southeastern Georgia in April 2007. Severe drought conditions, a lack of precipitation and gusting winds combined to spark the outbreak of a number severe forest fires. The imaging instrument on NASA's Terra satellite captured the image of the region on April 30. As of May, the fires had burned more than 345,000 acres of forest inside Georgia's Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. This has become the largest fire in the state since record-keeping began in 1957.
