  • EXCLUSIVE: A company that makes underground nuclear shelters has now developed a fire bunker in the wake of the devastating California wildfires. California-based Atlas Survival Shelters is offering a range of subterranean airtight shelters that keep out killer carbon monoxide and can withstand temperatures of up to 1600F (870C). The GarNado shelter — which can protect from fire as well as nuclear fallout, earthquakes and tornadoes — starts at $20,000 for a two-person size and goes up to $50,000 for a 25-person model. Bunkers can be installed under the concrete foundations of a home when newly constructed, or sunk into the backyard for existing houses. The Montebello-based company also offers a smaller FireNado shelter, which is designed specifically to store possessions people want to protect in the event of a fire, with prices starting at $7,000. Owner Ron Hubbard said the shelters can buy occupants valuable time in a wildfire scenario and are fitted with either two or three hour fire-rated hatches and an air-tight door, providing enough natural clean air inside for the occupants for that period of time. He urged: ‘If you live in an area threatened by wildfires and want to have a chance of surviving then do something about it. ‘People need to be prepared and we also want to start a new way of thinking when it comes building and rebuilding houses in areas prone to wildfire.’ The Northern California Camp Fire, which began in Butte County earlier this month has so far claimed the lives of 77 people, with 1,000 people still unaccounted for, making it the deadliest wildfire in California history. It is currently 66 per cent contained. Meanwhile the Southern California Woolsey Fire has left three dead and is now 94 per cent contained. All the shelters available are customizable and interiors can be fitted to various specs, including high-end luxury bunkers that come compete with sofas, double beds and kitchens. 20 Nov 2018 Pictured: Atlas Survival Shelters in

Owner Ron Hubbard said the shelters can buy occupants valuable time in a wildfire scenario and are fitted with either two or three hour fire-rated hatches and an air-tight door, providing enough natural clean air inside for the occupants for that period of time. He urged: ‘If you live in an area threatened by wildfires and want to have a chance of surviving then do something about it. ‘People need to be prepared and we also want to start a new way of thinking when it comes building and rebuilding houses in areas prone to wildfire.’ The Northern California Camp Fire, which began in Butte County earlier this month has so far claimed the lives of 77 people, with 1,000 people still unaccounted for, making it the deadliest wildfire in California history. It is currently 66 per cent contained. Meanwhile the Southern California Woolsey Fire has left three dead and is now 94 per cent contained. All the shelters available are customizable and interiors can be fitted to various specs, including high-end luxury bunkers that come compete with sofas, double beds and kitchens. 20 Nov 2018 Pictured: Atlas Survival Shelters in

  • EXCLUSIVE: ** NO USA TV AND NO USA WEB ** Tom Cruise has always looked dashing in a suit ... especially in a G-suit. TMZ got this pic of Tom dressed as Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell for the 'Top Gun' sequel. These pics were taken over the weekend at a base in Nevada, where Tom also had time to chit chat with the Admiral there, along with fans. It's interesting ... Tom flew the chopper by himself in "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" but apparently even the great stunt actor has his limits. The other guy suited up is the actual F-18 pilot Tom flew with from a base in northern California. He apparently serves as Tom's double based on how the jet's equipped -- the back of the fighter jet (where we're told Tom was sitting) is mounted with cameras facing Tom's POV. If ya didn't know ... Tom's now a flight instructor who mentors Goose's grown son. NICE!!. 17 Sep 2018 Pictured: Tom Cruise top gun. Photo credit: TMZ/MEGA TheMegaAgency.com +1 888 505 6342

On November 8, 2018, a fire broke out in the early morning hours just outside Paradise, home to many retirees. The cause of it is still under investigation.  The town of Paradise was engulfed in black smoke from the fire and 30,000 residents were quickly evacuated. The Camp Fire was so named because of its proximity to Camp Creek Road near Highway 70 in the Feather River Canyon. (Credit Image: © NASA Earth/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)

  • October 9, 2017 - Santa Rose, California, U.S. - Parts of northern California have been ravaged by intense and fast-burning wildfires that broke out on October 8, 2017. Blazes that started on a few hundred acres around Napa Valley were fanned by strong northeasterly winds, and by October 10, the 14 fires had consumed as much as 100,000 acres (150 square miles) of land. States of emergency have been declared in Napa, Sonoma, Yuba, and Mendocino counties, and thousands of people were asked to evacuate. The densely populated "wine country" is famous for its vineyards and wine-making operations and the tourists they attract. In the late morning of October 9, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite acquired a natural-color image (top) of the smoke billowing from the fires. About two hours later, the MODIS instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite captured the second view. (Credit Image: © NASA Earth/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)

  • View Image Comparison<br />
View Both Images<br />
In summer 2015, wildfires raged across the western United States and Alaska. Many of those fires burned in the U.S. Northwest, visible in these images from late August.<br />
The top image was acquired in the early morning local time on August 19 by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor on the Suomi NPP satellite. The image was made possible by the instrument's "day-night band," which uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals including those from wildfires. Labels point to the large, actively burning fires in the region.<br />
The bottom image shows the same area in natural-color, acquired in the afternoon of August 18 with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite. Red outlines indicate hot spots where the sensor detected unusually warm surface temperatures generally associated with fires. Thick plumes of smoke are visible emanating from the hot spots. Use the image comparison tool to see the how the view at nighttime differs from that during daylight hours.<br />
According to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, the Okanogan Complex Fire in Washington was among the larger active fires; as of August 20, the fire had burned 91,314 acres (370 square kilometers, or 143 square miles). In Oregon, the Canyon Creek Complex Fire had burned 48,201 acres (195 square kilometers, or 75 square miles), destroyed 26 residences and threatened another 500. Both fires were less than 40 percent contained. Meanwhile, firefighters have made progress on the large, damaging Cornet-Windy Ridge Fire in Oregon, which as of August 20 was 70 percent contained; smoke from this fire is more visible in<br />
earlier images.<br />
According to a story in The New York Times, fire managers have struggled to find enough crews to battle the fires burning across the Northwest and Northern California.<br />

Devastation of the sort that the fast-moving Valley Fire unleashed rarely has a single cause. Long before the blaze started burning through Boggs Mountain State Forest, decades of aggressive firefighting - and too few prescribed fires - left the woodlands overloaded with brush and other fuel. Meanwhile, extreme drought over the past four years has sucked the forests dry of moisture, leaving the trees unusually combustible. An army of destructive bark beetles also has made the pine forests vulnerable.<br />
So when a weather system delivered abnormally hot temperatures and gusty winds to Napa, Sonoma, and Lake counties in northern California, the forests were primed to burn intensely. The first spark likely came from a shed fire in the town of Cobb on September 12, 2015. Once it had escaped the shed, the fire spread with such speed and intensity that firefighters could do little to slow it. Within 48 hours, the inferno had burned an area twice as large as Manhattan as it raced southeast along ridges in Boggs Mountain State Forest toward the communities of Harbin Springs, Anderson Springs, and Middletown.<br />
As flames pushed toward these towns, thousands of people were forced to flee their homes with little warming. In all, authorities report that 1,910 structures were destroyed, including many at a popular hot springs resort in Harbin Springs. At least three civilians lost their lives; four firefighters were injured. The Valley Fire has already become one of California's most damaging fires. Only two other blazes - the Cedar fire in 2003 and the Tunnel Fire in 1991 - destroyed more structures.<br />
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured false-color view of the charred landscape on September 20, 2015. The image is a composite based on data OLI collected with its short-wave infrared and near-infrared bands. Newly burned land has a strong signal in short-wave infrared bands, visible as dark red-orange areas. Unburned forests appear gray. B
