is how close the heat has come to Chiloquin at any point in the record. In the last day the nearest heat has been 8.0 miles from it, and the closest this fire has come to Oregon Shores is 11.6 miles, 11.6 in the last day. The two figures are the same because the record is barely a day long: the last day is very nearly all of it.

official record — the width of the ground involved so far.
Five other fires are burning inside the same view. 338 Fire started on Thursday 3 September, 2.4 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres. 345 Fire started on Monday 7 September, 2.1 miles east, and has reached 0 acres. 371 Fire started on Thursday 17 September, 3.7 miles north-west, and has reached 0 acres. Nfca #26 Fire started on Thursday 17 September, 4.4 miles east, and has reached 0 acres. Outpost Fire started on Sunday 30 August, 1.1 miles west, and has reached 0 acres. Their heat is counted against them, not against this fire, and the pale rings on the map mark where they are recorded.
One larger fire is burning outside this frame: Wrights Spring Fire 9.2 miles south at 55,134 acres. None of their heat is counted here.
Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:00pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 217 hours ago, so what is overhead now is not known.
Where the heat is
No cluster large enough to call a separate front. The heat is in one piece.
Conditions measured 2.4 miles from the fire: 74°F, air at 15% humidity, a 5 mph wind out of the west.
