    Its not real. This isn’t a satellite image of the wildfires. Theres an artist’s initials at the top of this “satellite image” (it is a satellite image, but the fires and smoke are drawn on).

    Shame on OP for spreading disinformation.

      To be fair, everyone can and will be tricked at some point by fake pictures, the post may have been a genuine attempt to inform.

      But it definitely needs to be edited in the title and description once it’s clear that it’s misleading.
