is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 15.1 miles from the fire: 62°F, air at 21% humidity, a 6 mph wind out of the south.

Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Ca-Krn Crocker Fire started on Friday 24 July, 3.8 miles south, and has reached 0 acres. Scenic Fire started on Saturday 5 September, 7.3 miles north-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Hillcrest Fire started on Monday 31 August, 8.0 miles east, and has reached an unrecorded size. North Fire started on Monday 13 July, 10.7 miles south-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Woods Fire started on Saturday 12 September, 14.1 miles south-east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Gardner Fire started on Sunday 5 July, 14.7 miles south-east, and has reached 1 acres. 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 two times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 185 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

Each step is a change on the interagency incident record — acreage, containment or crews — with the date it was reported. No satellite reading is involved.
