Six other fires are burning inside the same view. 0482 Cherry Creek Fire started 287 minutes before this one, 4.8 miles west, and has reached 16 acres. 0442 Redrock Fire started 1366 minutes before this one, 6.9 miles east, and has reached 256 acres. 0502 Fire started 91 minutes after this one, 7.4 miles north, and has reached 1,816 acres. 0444 Twickenham Fire started 1356 minutes before this one, 7.9 miles east, and has reached 254 acres with 10 people assigned. 0445 Crosswhite Fire started 1355 minutes before this one, 8.5 miles north-east, and has reached 342,923 acres with 39 people assigned. 0512 Box Springs Fire started 1353 minutes after this one, 10.2 miles south-west, and has reached 21,432 acres with 209 people assigned. Their heat is counted against them, not against this fire, and the pale rings on the map mark where they are recorded.

Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground three times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 233 hours ago, so what is overhead now is not known.

No satellite heat has been attributed to this fire yet — either it is too new for a pass to have caught it, or it is too small to register from orbit. Everything above is from the interagency incident record and updates as that record does.

How the record has moved
