NO2 emissions from #PostFire in SoCal as seen by @TEMPO_Mission
#PostFire has increased to 15,610 acres w/ 8% containment. Firefighters are securing the edge & mopping up along the northern perimeter. Hand crews are finding opportunities to build direct line through steep, rugged terrain along the fire’s southern edge. bit.ly/4c1gUXX
