Basin Complex Fire Near Big Sur, California

The Basin Complex Fire was clearly active on multiple fronts. The large burn scar in the lower center of the center shows that the fire ran all the way to the coast in places. South of Big Sur, portions of the state’s famously scenic coastal highway (Highway 1) had to be closed.
