Armstrong Fire

The official record as of 9:09am today

The Armstrong Fire is on the interagency wildfire record at 2 acres in Riverside County, California. The figures below are the official record. A satellite heat map and day-by-day history appear here as soon as detections are attributed to this fire.

Conditions measured 12.1 miles from the fire: 76°F, air at 24% humidity, a 5 mph wind out of the north.

Six other fires are burning inside the same view. Holmes Fire started on Friday 9 October, 6.4 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Mann Fire started on Wednesday 14 October, 6.5 miles south-west, and has reached 0 acres. Reche Canyon Rd Colton_Area Fire started on Sunday 27 September, 8.1 miles east, and has reached an unrecorded size. Darby Fire started on Monday 24 August, 9.4 miles north-east, and has reached 3 acres. Citrus Fire started on Tuesday 1 September, 9.4 miles south, and has reached 15 acres. Thorn Fire started on Wednesday 23 September, 9.4 miles south, and has reached an unrecorded size. 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 four times so far. The thickest of it was moderate 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.
