      Drought and warm temperatures continued across much of the Western   
      United States in early autumn 2022, spurring the continuation of a very   
      active wildfire season. The Moderate Resolution Imaging   
      Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a   
      true-color image of multiple fires burning across northwestern Montana   
      on October 13, 2022.   
      
      At least a half-dozen active wildfires, each marked by a red “hot spot”   
      are visible in this image. Heavy smoke pours from several fires in the   
      Lewis Range, southeast of Flathead Lake. Another plume of gray wildfire   
      smoke rises from fire in the Purcell Mountains. The plumes blow   
      strongly to the east, evidence of strong wind.   
      
      According to the MTfireinfo.org website, on October 15 there were 29   
      wildfires over 100 acres actively burning in Montana, with one new   
      start on that date. There were 35 wildfires during the previous seven   
      days, and 1,976 wildfires reported in Montana so far in 2022.
