Satellite images offer a chilling perspective of the devastating wildfires currently burning in Los Angeles. Maxar Technologies provided Business Insider with images of the blazes captured by its satellites as they continue to burn into day three.
Maxar’s images captured the fires’ activity in the heavily affected areas of Altadena and Pacific Palisades. Some of the images showed side-by-side comparisons of neighborhoods before and after the blazes, with many structures reduced to ash.
The Eaton and Palisades fires, the two largest of the five active blazes, were 10,600 acres and 17,234 acres respectively as of early Thursday morning. Both had zero percent containment and were likely to spread further due to continuing “strong and erratic” winds.
