The official record as of 7:04pm today

1 hour

Type 5 Incident

is the incident-management level assigned to it.

38.636, -104.837lat, lon

is the official point of origin on the interagency record.

Conditions measured 3.4 miles from the fire: 66°F, air at 29% humidity, a 10 mph wind out of the west.

Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground once so far. The thickest of it was thin between 9:00am and 11:00am local time. The last of those windows closed 80 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.
