A pyrocumulus cloud also known as a" fire cloud" rises to heights near 20,000 feet over the Station Fire, in the Angeles National Forest northeast of Downtown LA. The cloud is caused by the heat from the fire. The fire has grown to over 45,000 acres and claimed the lives of two firefighters when their vehicle overturned in a heavy fire area.
