The Eaton Fire destroyed homes in Altadena California, a town northeast of Pasadena. The image was captured Jan. 8 by Maxar Technologies' shortwave infrared sensor. This sensor has the ability to see through the dense smoke of an active fire to the ground beneath, as well as locating the flame front and hot spots in the fire, according to Maxar.

At least five people have been killed and thousands of structures have burned in wildfires raging in the Los Angeles area
