A destructive wildfire burned through Canada’s Northern Alberta region, razing neighborhoods in Fort McMurray and displacing tens of thousands of residents. On May 2, 2016, the Sentinel-2A satellite acquired this true-color image that clearly shows smoke pouring from the devastated area.
When this image was acquired, the fire was burning southwest of downtown Fort McMurray. By the evening of May 3, the fire has already spreaded to the suburbs of Fort McMurray.
