The fire isn't making all that red in the sky, it's the morning sun that's back lighting the smoke. It was an awesome sight. The dot near the center is the sun. My processing doesn't do the scene justice.
The hot shot crew near the center was lighting off the rest of Lone Pine Canyon when I took this photo. Wrightwood will have good protection for many years now, but it was sad to see the canyon burn.
