Summary Fire! takes a look at the effect of the 1988 fires of Yellowstone National Park. Students are able to compare Landsat images of before the fires, one year after the fires, and eleven years after the fires. The students are then able to determine where the vegetation is making a recovery, and where the problem areas still are.
