Lava wildfire

Wildfire on the island of Hawaiʻi caused by pāhoehoe lava flowing on the coastal plain of Kīlauea The new lava is moving across the old surface, which is covered with a roughly 1 in (2.54 cm) thick layer of moss. The burning moss generates the smoke visible in the image. This kind of fire cannot be easily prevented or suppressed.
