Four other fires are burning inside the same view. Osni Fire started on Thursday 3 September, 3.2 miles south, and has reached 0 acres. Route 131 Fire started on Friday 21 August, 6.0 miles south-east, and has reached 0 acres. Sakpe Fire started on Saturday 10 October, 10.4 miles east, and has reached 0 acres. Camel Back Fire started on Tuesday 11 August, 13.9 miles north-east, and has reached 28 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 six times so far. The thickest of it was thin between 2:10pm and 5:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 121 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.
