A California wildfire created a "fire cloud" that was seen from space. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's GOES-West satellite captured this view.
California is seen to experience another large-scale wildfire this week. The McKinney Fire has already burned more than 51,000 acres of land as of Sunday.
As the California wildfires continue, firefighters wrapped the bases of the largest trees in the world using a fire-resistant blanket Thursday to save a grove of the world-famous huge sequoia tree from burning in the rugged Sierra Nevada.
Wildfires raging in Northern California have already taken at least five lives and threaten thousands of people to flee from their homes, authorities said.
