Re: TAPS,
The greenery grows back, starting soon after the fire, but the baked ground remains hard and water-resistant for years, with heavy rains creating run-off flash flooding and mud-floods. Last summer, Manitou Springs got hit hard by those, badly affecting a number of shops and businesses.
Visually, from some 3-5 miles away, there is a lot of green, but also black still shows, too.

Just curious, how long does it take a wildfire burn scar to no longer be noticeable to the average human being?

We were having a bit of a scorcher of a summer, but it has thankfully cooled off.

We've had tropical humidity and plenty of rain this week, everything's
green, the walnut tree next door has set a big crop, so there'll be hot & cold running squirrels come September when they start dropping.

My Summer is really the Garden. I grew up in a part of Australia where fabulous Summer sunsets were mostly groaned about because it meant another 100+ F day tomorrow and we had no cooling of course.I have seen fabulous sunstes across the World since then and been places where you watch that Orb drop into an Ocean and I laugh...how we had so much back then and never understood.
