      A hot, dry spring and summer sparked a difficult wildfire season across   
      Texas in 2022. According to the Texas A&M Forest Service, as of   
      September 28 state and local firefighters have responded to more than   
      9,800 wildfires across the Lone Star State this year—and 65 wildfires   
      this past week. While most of the recent wildfires have been rapidly   
      contained, one notable fire expanded rapidly.   
      
      The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of Central Texas and   
      the Lazy Fire on September 29, 2022. The actively burning fire is   
      marked by a large red “hot spot” that is accompanied by a thick gray   
      plume of smoke blowing from the fire to the southeast. Gray pixels,   
      arranged to look almost like a spider web on a background of green, are   
      man-made structures of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.   
      
      According to a report on InciWeb Incident Information System, Texas A&M   
      Forest Service first received a request for assistance on a wildfire   
      burning in Palo Pinto County on September 29. Located 6 miles south of   
      Possum Kingdom Lake and west of State Highway 16, the Lazy Fire is   
      burning in rough terrain with thick juniper vegetation and is   
      threatening multiple structures. As of September 30, the fire expanded   
      rapidly and is burning on 1,500 acres. Fire fighters are working on   
      full suppression, with protection of assets and have brought the Lazy   
      Fire to 45 percent containment. The fire was first reported as a   
      prescribed burn that escaped control, but the fire’s origin is   
      undergoing investigation.
